Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by Edward J. Berry was convicted of murder in the first degree (K.S.A. 21-3401) and aggravated robbery (K.S.A. 21-3427). The victim was a taxi driver, Gwen Dopps, who had been advised to pick up a cab fare at Hawk's Pharmacy in Wichita in the early morning hours of September 13, 1976. Gwen Dopps stopped at the pharmacy and picked up a man and a woman who gave her their destination. On arrival at that destination the man and woman got out of the taxi and the man approached the driver on the left side of the vehicle. He drew a hand gun, demanded money, then shot Gwen Dopps in the head. The two passengers fled the scene. Witnesses came to the aid of the victim and she [223 Kan. 567] was rushed to a hospital. Her billfold and some currency were found on the ground at the scene of the crime. The woman passenger turned out to be Barbara Harris who pled guilty to criminal charges. She testified for the prosecution. Gwen Dopps was in the hospital for approximately 30 days and seemed to be recovering when suddenly she died. The doctor who conducted an autopsy on the body testified that death was caused by a gunshot wound in the head which activated a vagus nerve. This brought about a stress ulcer which started severe hemorrhaging in the small intestine. The resulting loss of blood brought about the death. Other facts will be developed in examining the two points raised in this appeal.
