Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by John Richard (J.R.) Cady was convicted of first-degree murder.
At the time of the murder Cady was a 16-year-old juvenile. The
State's request that Cady be tried as an adult was granted by the
district court. Cady appeals, claiming: (1) The district court
erroneously allowed the State to prosecute him as an adult
(K.S.A. 38-1636); (2) the district court erred by denying his
request that the jury be instructed on diminished capacity; and
(3) juror and prosecutorial misconduct violated his right to a
fair trial. At 12:15 p.m. on November 2, 1988, Cady gained entrance to
16-year-old Melissa Brown's house by asking Melissa's older
sister to let him stay in the house so that he could talk to
Melissa before he left to go to California. Melissa was Cady's
former girlfriend. The older sister testified that before she
left the house, Cady appeared normal to her and had assured her
that nothing would happen to Melissa.
