Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal in a criminal action from a jury verdict
finding Richard L. Falke and Steven J. White
(defendants-appellants) guilty of one count each of attempted
second-degree murder (K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 21-3301; K.S.A. 21-3402)
and aggravated kidnapping (K.S.A. 21-3421). The defendants were
jointly tried and convicted. On appeal both defendants contend the trial court erred in
failing to sustain their motions for separate trials. They also
contend the trial court erred in failing to sustain their motions
for judgment of acquittal. Falke asserts the trial court erred in
including certain evidence contained in medical records of his
past tendency toward drug and alcohol abuse. Falke also contends
the trial court erred in failing to sustain his motion for a
mistrial due to prejudicial misconduct of counsel. White asserts,
additionally, that his due process rights were violated when the
prosecutor, on cross-examination, sought to impeach his testimony
with his pretrial, post-Miranda statement.
