1. ““Kansas procedure does, consistent with the United States Constitution, require that appellant’s confession be challenged prior to or during the trial or not at all. The appellant’s failure to request a hearing or timely object to the admission of his confession waives his right to raise that issue for the first time on appeal unless the opportunity to object did not exist.””

2. ““The propriety of inflicting severer punishment on second or subsequent offenders has been long recognized in this state. The offenders are not punished the second time for the earlier offense, but the repetition of criminal conduct aggravates their guilt and justifies increased penalties when they are convicted. The Kansas Supreme Court has recognized the validity of a habitual criminal act, State v. Collins, 215 Kan. 798 , 528 P.2d 1221 (1974); that such an act does not violate due process or equal protection, State v. Sully, 219 Kan. 222 , 547 P.2d 344 (1976); and is constitutional, State v. Levier, 226 Kan. 461 , 601 P.2d 1116 (1979). Prior convictions can be limited to those which were committed in the sentencing state or may include prior convictions of other jurisdictions.” 233 Kan. at 298 .”
