State v. Guffey

It is evident from the record that the defendant did not receive a perfect trial, which the court concedes, but I am compelled to conclude he did not receive a fair trial, and must respectfully dissent.

This case in some respects is like that of State v. McLemore, 101 Kan. 259, 166 Pac. 497, where a number of errors were committed, none of which standing alone were held to warrant reversal, but, when considered together, constrained the court to the conclusion the defendant did not receive a fair trial, and a new trial was ordered.

Fontron, J., joins in the foregoing dissent.
