Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal by defendant Rodney Sanders from a jury verdict convicting him of first degree murder (K.S.A. 21-3401), aggravated assault (K.S.A. 21-3410), and two counts of assault (K.S.A. 21-3408). These charges arose from a shooting resulting in the death of Sol Rosen in Kansas City, Kansas. On June 20, 1977, at approximately 6:00 p.m., defendant arrived at Sol Rosen's place of business at 915 Minnesota in Kansas City. Defendant and Rosen spoke briefly outside the building where Rosen was preparing to get into his car to drive home. Without warning, defendant produced a .357 Magnum handgun and shot Rosen three times. He fired another shot when Rosen's business partner, Phillip Balano, came toward the two men. Defendant then fled the scene and officers Patrick Ohler and Duane Lee of the Kansas City Police Department proceeded toward the area after hearing dispatch reports of the shooting. They saw defendant run into a yard on the northwest corner of 10th and Ann Avenue. Defendant pointed a weapon at the officers and the police car then struck him, knocking him down and breaking his leg. Defendant was subdued by the officers and transported to the hospital where he was given treatment in the emergency room.
