Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by The defendant, Jimmy Jack Searles, appeals from his convictions
of felony murder, K.S.A. 21-3401, and attempted rape, K.S.A.
21-3301; K.S.A. 21-3502. The issues for our review are whether (1) the trial court improperly allowed the State to
comment on Searles' exercise of his privilege
against self-incrimination;
(2) the trial court erred in allowing the prosecution
to introduce K.S.A. 60-455 evidence arising from
two prior crimes charged against Searles, one of
which resulted in an acquittal and the other in a
mistrial with no retrial;
(3) the trial court erred in giving a PIK Crim.2d
52.06 limiting instruction on the K.S.A. 60-455
evidence which stated that evidence had been
admitted tending to prove that Searles committed
other crimes; and
(4) the trial court erred in admitting the blood
analysis testimony of the State's experts.
We find no error and affirm.
FACTS The decomposed body of Roxanne G., the mother of three young
children, was found beside a county road outside of Parsons,
[246 Kan. 569]
