Description
At the trial of the insanity issue the order of proof was simple and without objection. Opening arguments were waived and defendant proceeded by introducing the testimony of Dr. David Steinem, a psychiatrist who had examined defendant three times prior to trial. On direct examination he testified in response to a hypothetical question that in his opinion on the night of the assault the defendant "did not know what he was doing" and "could not distinguish between right and wrong". The State then presented testimony of the police officer who had seen defendant for the first time approximately two hours after the assault. He said that after observing defendant over a three or four-hour period that night he did not observe any unusual conduct on the part of the defendant and that in his lay opinion the defendant acted sane. No other witnesses were called.
