Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Roberts

February 4, 2022503 P.3d 227

Summary

The court affirmed Roberts's convictions for two counts of felony murder, intentional second-degree murder, and attempted intentional second-degree murder. It held that a voluntary-manslaughter felony-murder instruction was not legally appropriate because voluntary manslaughter was not charged as an alternative underlying felony, and it concluded that sufficient circumstantial evidence supported the jury's finding that Roberts intended to kill Henderson.
