1. ““ ‘(1) that the defendants have antagonistic defenses; (2) that important evidence in favor of one of the defendants which would be admissible on a separate trial would not be allowed on a joint trial; (3) that evidence incompetent as to one defendant and introducible against another would work prejudicially to die former with the jury; (4) diat the confession by one defendant, if introduced and proved, would be calculated to prejudice die jury against the others; and (5) that one of die defendants who could give evidence for die whole or some of die other defendants would become a competent and compellable witness on the separate trials of such other defendants.’ ” 277 Kan. at 240 (quoting Butler, 257 Kan. at 1063).”

2. ““ ‘If there’s over a hundred pieces of ballistics evidence that needs to be examined, that’s all very meticulous work, it’s very time consuming. Unfortunately, the people that can do that are very few and far between, and it appears to me that there has not been any sort of delay that’s caused simply for the purpose of delay, that [the State’s] request is based upon a good faith basis.’ ” White, 275 Kan. at 600 .”
