Description
This is a direct appeal from a conviction of murder in the first degree (K.S.A. 21-3401). Because of the issues raised on the appeal it is necessary to set forth the factual circumstances in some detail. The tragic event giving rise to this prosecution took place shortly after 11:00 p.m. on the evening of August 20, 1976, when a cabdriver, Ferry Cathey, was shot and killed in his cab in Kansas City, Kansas. The state's evidence showed that at approximately 11:00 p.m. on the fatal evening a Yellow Cab stopped across the street from Rock's Lunch located near 13th and Wood Avenue in Kansas City. There were no other persons in the cab except the cabdriver, Ferry Cathey. After the cab stopped, the defendant, Danny Ray Buie, got up from where he was sitting near Rock's Lunch and walked over to the parked cab. One witness for the state testified that Buie stood outside the cab talking with the driver for five or more minutes. Another witness testified that Buie immediately got into the cab and the cab remained parked thereafter for six to eight minutes. On the night of the homicide the defendant, a young black male, was wearing [223 Kan. 595] dark pants or jeans and a white tank top or T-shirt with the red number 44 printed on it. Buie was observed entering the cab from the left rear door. Neither of the witnesses observed him carrying any weapon.
