Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Kenneth Amodei was convicted by a jury on three narcotic charges. The resulting sentences were ordered to run concurrently and were as follows: Count I (sale of heroin) not less than two nor more than twenty years; Count II (conspiracy to possess heroin) not less than one nor more than five years; Count III (possession of heroin) not less than two nor more than twenty years. The incident which gave rise to Count I occurred around midnight on January 9, 1974. The incident giving rise to Counts II and III occurred around 10:00 p.m. on January 10, 1974. We will consider Count I separately. It involved a charge of sale of heroin. Defendant admitted at the trial he had used heroin in the past but was participating in the methadone withdrawal program at Wichita. He further testified he had not sold or offered to sell heroin since he had arrived in Wichita. He became acquainted with Steve Deems through Pam Shirley; both turned out to be undercover agents. Defendant Amodei denied making the sale charged in Count I of the information. He admitted that Deems and Shirley came to his apartment on the night in question (January 9) but testified he left as soon as they arrived. He attended a midnight concert with a friend, Joelyn Schroeder. Ms. Schroeder corroborated his story but it was later stipulated during the trial that the concert was held on January 8, not January 9.
