Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by The defendant Lanny C. Riedel was convicted of receiving stolen property under K.S.A. 21-549. This is a direct appeal from that conviction. We will refer to the parties respectively as state and defendant or Riedel. The property stolen consisted of 5600 pounds of atrazine, a chemical herbicide, which was taken from the USS Agri-Chemical warehouse near Lawrence, Kansas. The defendant Riedel was a student at the University of Kansas. During the fall semester of 1969 he worked at the warehouse during September and October. During November and early December 1969, USS Agri-Chemical received large shipments of atrazine. Between 9:30 p.m., December 23, 1969, and 3:10 a.m., December 24, 1969, the atrazine was stolen. The evidence was undisputed that the defendant rented a truck in Lawrence on December 23, 1969, in the morning and brought the truck back to Lawrence on December 27, 1969. Defendant's father testified that the defendant arrived at the family home in Colby, Kansas, in the early hours of December 24. During the following three months defendant made several large sales of atrazine to farmers in the Colby area at $1.75 per pound. The retail price at the time varied between $2.20 and $2.40 per pound. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation through Agent Charles Murray began investigating the Colby atrazine sales in April 1970.
