Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Randy E. Snodgrass appeals from his convictions by a jury of
aggravated kidnapping (K.S.A. 21-3421), rape (K.S.A. 21-3502),
aggravated sodomy (K.S.A. 21-3506), and aggravated assault
(K.S.A. 21-3410). The issues on appeal involve the admission in
evidence of the defendant's statement to police and the denial by
the trial court of a request for a continuance so that the
defendant could obtain DNA testing. We affirm. On November 1, 1990, at approximately 11:50 a.m., T.H. left her
parents' home in Lawrence to attend an employee luncheon banquet.
She placed her two-week-old daughter in her car and, while
preparing to get in the driver's side, heard Randy E. Snodgrass
call her name. She recognized him as the son of a woman who lived
across the street from her parents. Snodgrass told T.H. that his
mother had fallen in the house and asked for her help. T.H.
hesitated but then followed Snodgrass into the house. When she
realized that Snodgrass' mother was not in the house, T.H.
attempted to leave but was knocked to the floor and attacked.
T.H. testified that Snodgrass jumped on top of her, pulled a
knife from his back pocket, and held it against her throat. He
forced her into a bedroom, ripped off her clothing, forced her to
perform oral sex, and raped her. He also struck her several
times. Upon allowing T.H. to leave he threatened to kill her
family if she told anyone what had happened.
