Heading: Galloway's Testimony

Text: The trips made in the RV to Kansas City were to buy crack cocaine. It was Kahle who entered the house and purchased drugs. As the men drove toward Lawrence, smoking cocaine, Mumford became paranoid, claiming to see someone outside the RV. To reassure Mumford that there was no one outside the RV, Galloway asked Kahle to stop. Galloway testified that Kahle handed him a gun and said to shoot him or, perhaps, tell [Mumford] to shoot him. Galloway was stunned at the suggestion, showed the gun to Mumford, and returned it to Kahle. Galloway had no intention of buying Kahle's car. Kahle pressured White to buy the car because Kahle needed money. Galloway stated that he tried to dissuade White from buying Kahle's car because White did not have a driver's license. Galloway denied seeing Kahle's gun or asking Kahle about his gun when Mumford left the RV. When the men stopped at Hardee's on the turnpike outside Lawrence, White went into the restaurant and Galloway went to sleep in the back of the RV. Galloway did not wake until they were in Kansas City. Galloway noted the absence of White. Kahle told Galloway that White had stayed at Hardee's. Galloway had no reason to doubt Kahle because he knew White had relatives who worked at the restaurant. Kahle again purchased cocaine at the house in Kansas City. Kahle was stopped by the police for a traffic violation approximately four blocks from the house. The next morning Galloway learned that White had been killed.
