- affirming the jury’s rejection of an insanity defense in spite of expert testimony as to the defendant’s “brain disorder combining severe depression with psychotic symptoms” and relying on circumstantial evidence regarding the crime and the defendant’s statements to the police…
- describing approaches adopted by various states

## Opinion text

LILE, Judge:
concurs in part/dissents in part.
¶ 1 I agree that Appellant’s conviction should be affirmed. I also believe that his sentence should be affirmed. All of the mitigating evidence was presented to the jury and I have great respect for their determination. The jury knew far more about Appellant than this Court can ever glean from a record. I would affirm the sentence of death.
