State of Kansas, Appellee v. Daron Ingham, Appellant.

Summary

The court affirmed Ingham's conviction for criminal use of explosives. It held that the district court did not abuse its discretion by permitting references to the device as a bomb, pipe bomb, or improvised explosive device; any error in admitting an officer's legal characterization was harmless; and the challenged jury instruction improperly equated an improvised explosive device with a commercial explosive but caused no prejudice. The court also found no reversible error in omitting an unrequested consumer-fireworks instruction and rejected cumulative-error relief.
