Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a direct appeal in a criminal action in which the defendant, Rebecca L. Harrison, was convicted of aggravated robbery (K.S.A. 21-3427). The conviction stems from the robbery of a Town and Country Store in Wichita on May 28, 1979. The facts surrounding the robbery are not in dispute and essentially are as follows: On May 28, 1979, a State's witness, who lived across the street from the store, noticed a red station wagon parked near the store. He saw the driver get out of the car, approach the store, and look in the window. The driver then got back in the car and left the store without entering. The witness saw the car return later that evening, at which time the car was again parked and this time the driver entered the store. An employee at Town and Country testified that at 10:45 p.m. defendant entered the store and demanded money. When the employee hesitated, defendant stated in substance, Give me your . . . money or I'll shoot your . . . guts out. The defendant then raised her shirt revealing a white-handled object which the employee believed to be a gun. The employee handed the store's money over to defendant who immediately left with the loot. The police, having obtained a description of the red [228 Kan. 559] station wagon, observed defendant's vehicle parked in front of her residence. The station wagon was identified by the witness as the red station wagon previously observed that evening. The police then returned to defendant's house. She was identified by the store employee as the woman who had just robbed her. Following defendant's conviction, the court sentenced defendant to imprisonment for a period of five to twenty years and further denied her probation in accordance with K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 21-4618 on the grounds that a firearm was used in the commission of the robbery. The defendant appealed her conviction and the mandatory sentence.
