Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by Appellant was convicted of manslaughter in the first degree
(K.S.A. 21-407) in connection with the death on February
[207 Kan. 701]
5, 1967, of Mrs. Lillie Mae Colbert of Coffeyville, Kansas. This
was appellant's third trial on a charge of first degree murder.
(An additional count of rape was dismissed at the preliminary
hearing.) The first trial ended in a mistrial when a juror died,
and the second when the jury was unable to agree on a verdict.
After appellant's motion for a new trial was overruled the state,
pursuant to previous notice, introduced evidence of three prior
felony convictions. Appellant was thereupon sentenced to life
imprisonment under K.S.A. 21-107a. He subsequently filed a motion
for resentencing, contending that the prior convictions relied
upon in imposing sentence under the habitual criminal act were
invalid. This motion was overruled and he thereafter perfected
this appeal.
