Description

Appellant was found guilty by a jury of murder, first degree, and his punishment was assessed at life imprisonment. Sentence
and judgment were rendered accordingly, and this appeal resulted. Although appellant was represented at trial by privately
retained counsel of his choice, he was permitted to appeal as a poor person and is represented on this appeal by The Legal
Aid and Defender Society of Greater Kansas City. Appellant does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence, but a brief statement of the facts will provide a helpful background.
A jury reasonably could find from the evidence that on the evening of December 23, 1964, appellant and three companions, all
of whom were armed, were riding in an automobile when it was suggested that they hold up a merchant by the name of Harry Wienshienk.
Appellant and two companions left the automobile, and then appellant and one companion, Calvin Brown, approached Mr. Wienshienk
who had left his store and was entering his automobile near the intersection of Twelfth and Tracy Streets in Kansas City,
Missouri. One of them said, "This is a hold up," and Mr. Wienshienk "whirled" and grabbed appellant's gun. In the struggle
that followed the gun was discharged. Mr. Wienshienk was shot in the chest and died a few hours later. Appellant and Brown
fled the scene, and later when appellant heard that Mr. Wienshienk had died, he attempted to dispose of his gun. The gun was
subsequently obtained by the police, and ballistic tests indicated that it was the murder weapon. Three police officers testified
to oral statements made to them by appellant wherein he admitted the attempted robbery and the shooting of Mr. Wienshienk.
