BULLOCK, J.:
This is an appeal in a criminal action from a jury verdict finding Thurman J. Williams (defendant-appellant) guilty of involuntary manslaughter (K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 21-3404).
The facts surrounding this homicide are sketchy inasmuch as neither the defendant nor Mary Lou Ruffin, the only other witness to the event, took the stand. Defendant, shortly after the event, however, did make a statement to the police, which was admitted into evidence.
