The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a direct appeal in a criminal action in which the defendant-appellant, Janice A. Seelke, was charged with second-degree murder (K.S.A. 21-3402) and convicted of voluntary manslaughter (K.S.A. 21-3403). At the trial the factual circumstances were not greatly in dispute and essentially were as follows: In the early morning hours of January 25, 1975, the defendant shot and killed her husband, Hubert J. Seelke. The couple had been married for some 15 months and had been experiencing marital difficulties. At the time of the shooting their twin babies were three-months old and were lying in a crib in the room adjacent to where Mr. Seelke was killed. At the time of the shooting the defendant weighed [221 Kan. 673] approximately 104 pounds; the decedent weighed approximately 200 pounds and was 6'2 tall. Hubert J. Seelke had been released from the psychiatric ward of St. Francis Hospital in Wichita on the afternoon prior to the shooting. On the way home he became upset with the defendant, got out of the car, and immediately starting drinking. He first went to a friend's house and then to two private clubs. From there Hubert and two companions drove to the Seelke residence at approximately 11:00 p.m.
