Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a criminal case wherein defendants Carl Wenzel and
Gregory Chism appeal their jury convictions of first-degree
felony murder, K.S.A. 21-3401, for which they were given life
sentences. Wenzel and Chism were together with their wives Penny Wenzel
and Carlene Chism at a nightclub on August 24, 1985. They learned
Ron Hawkins and his girlfriend, Teresa Stanhope, were throwing an
after-hours party at a hotel and would not be returning home that
night. Chism had been in Hawkins' home in the past and knew he
kept cocaine and money hidden in a heating vent in one of the
bedrooms. A little before 3:00 a.m., when the club closed, the
appellants' wives rode home with a friend because both men were
intoxicated.
