Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Defendant Olander Hickles III appeals his conviction of one count of first-degree murder, K.S.A. 21-3401, and his sentence of life without possibility of parole for 40 years (hard 40), claiming the trial court erred by (1) admitting defendant's statement to police, (2) failing to instruct on the lesser included offenses of unintentional second-degree murder and reckless involuntary manslaughter, (3) admitting an excessive number of gruesome photographs and allowing the jury to visit the crime scene, and (4) imposing a hard 40 sentence. Olander Hickles was originally charged with second-degree murder in the August 24, 1994, stabbing death of Earl Whetstone. At the conclusion of the preliminary examination, the complaint was amended to charge premeditated first-degree murder.
