Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by Defendant, Sueanne Sallee Hobson, appeals from the denial of a
motion for new trial under K.S.A. 22-3501 based upon newly
discovered evidence. Defendant was convicted of first-degree
murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in the death
of her stepson, thirteen-year-old Christen Hobson. We affirmed
her conviction on direct appeal in State v. Hobson,
234 Kan. 133, 671 P.2d 1365 (1983) (Hobson I). The motion now before
this court was filed subsequent to our decision in that case. The
facts leading to the original conviction are set forth in Hobson
I and need not be repeated here. The actual killing was carried
out by defendant's son, Jimmy Crumm, and Paul Sorrentino. Crumm
was convicted of first-degree murder and his conviction was
upheld on appeal. State v. Crumm, 232 Kan. 254, 654 P.2d 417
(1982). Sorrentino pled guilty to aiding and abetting
first-degree murder and both men testified in the trial of
defendant Hobson. The defendant's motion for new trial at issue in the present
appeal was based on affidavits executed in October and November
of 1983 by three men, each of whom allegedly talked with Paul
Sorrentino at one or another of the various penal [237 Kan. 65]
