Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a direct appeal in a criminal case in which the defendant-appellant, Joe H. Morin, was convicted by a jury of kidnapping (K.S.A. 21-3420) and aggravated robbery (21-3427). The facts in the case are not in dispute and are essentially as follows: On December 15, 1973, Ronald Bennett, manager of the Old Way Station restaurant in Wichita, interviewed a man calling himself Reed David Taylor for a job as a cook. The man was hired and told to report for work the following day. At the trial Bennett identified the defendant, Joe H. Morin, as being the same person as Reed David Taylor. According to Bennett the defendant reported for work on the following afternoon and worked at the restaurant until it closed at 10:00 p.m. After the restaurant had [217 Kan. 647] been cleaned up, Bennett offered to give the defendant a ride home, which offer the defendant accepted. A short distance from the restaurant the defendant pulled a gun from his coat and ordered Bennett to return to the restaurant. There the defendant compelled Bennett to open the floor safe. At defendant's direction Bennett placed the money from the safe in a brown plastic bag produced by the defendant. The defendant then bound Bennett to a chair with adhesive tape and fled the scene in Bennett's car, a white 1967 Ford Galaxie.
