Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a direct appeal in a criminal action in which the defendant-appellant, Quay Douglas Worth, was tried by a jury and convicted of the sale of cocaine. The defendant admitted the sale but asserted the defense of entrapment. The facts in the case were not greatly in dispute and are essentially as follows: The defendant Worth became acquainted with Kent Green in 1971 while they were serving sentences in the Kansas State Penitentiary. Both men were released in 1972. In early July of 1973 Green became an undercover agent for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation [217 Kan. 394] and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms of the United States Treasury Department. On July 18, 1973, defendant telephoned Green at his home in Burns, Kansas. Green was not in so the defendant left a message for him to call back. Green returned the defendant's call on July 19. It was agreed that they would meet on the following day near a liquor store in Wichita. The defendant and Green met at the designated rendezvous on July 20 and then proceeded to the defendant's mobile home. The defendant told Green that he was unemployed and hard pressed for money. There is a conflict in the testimony as to the conversation between defendant and Green. Green testified the defendant told him how desperate he was for money, that he had a pistol and would not hesitate to use it. Green then told defendant that he did have buyers for various items. The defendant's version was somewhat different. He testified that Green told him that he was in trouble, that they could make some money if defendant could get a few things and that Green needed 50 sticks of dynamite, a couple of sawed-off shotguns and some cocaine. A clear-cut issue of fact was presented as to who was the moving force behind the criminal activities which followed.
