1. ““ ‘A bill of particulars serves the dual purpose of informing the defendant of the nature of the charge and the evidence against him to enable him to prepare his defense, and of enabling the defendant to avoid further prosecution for the same offense. The State is restricted in its proof to tire items specified in the bill of particulars. The purpose of this restriction is to prevent the State from charging the defendant with one crime and convicting him of something else.’ [Citation omitted.]” State v. Wright, 259 Kan. 117, 126 , 911 P.2d 166 (1996).”
