Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a direct appeal by Dennis D. Perkins from his
convictions for first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, and
rape. Perkins pled insanity. Perkins raises six issues on appeal. He contests the
voluntariness of his confessions, claims he was incompetent to
stand trial (and that he was denied his statutory and
constitutional right to be present during an in-chambers
discussion of his competency); argues he was entitled to an
instruction that rape cannot occur after the victim is dead;
argues a mistrial should have been granted because of his conduct
during trial; claims he was entitled to an instruction on
second-degree murder and on manslaughter; and argues the evidence
was insufficient for the jury to find him other than insane at
the time of the crimes.
