Text: The district court ruled from the bench, as follows: I have no doubt in [that] the Court's ready to give its ruling with regards to Count 1 on the aggravated assault violation of K.S.A. 21-3410, that some type of altercation took place at 4121 North Niles Road, but the victim in this case, Paul Conrad Powell, whether he's telling the truth now or whether he was telling the truth then, definitely states under oath today that he was not in reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm regardless of whether or not Paul Conrad Powell, Senior was holding a weapon or not. That element being missing, the Court has no recourse but to find that the State has failed for the purposes of preliminary examination to meet one of the essential elements and the Court finds that no crime has been committed with regards to the charge that is before the Court today.
