## Opinion text

Glaze, J., concurs as to Point 1. Even assuming the trial court erred in refusing to reopen the Denno hearing to permit Dr. Stephens’ testimony, that error became harmless when Dr. Stephens was permitted to testify at trial and his testimony merely reflected that it was a jury question as to whether appellant had the ability to premeditate and weigh the consequences of his actions.
Brown, J., concurs in part, dissents in part. Dudley, J„ dissents as to Point 1. Corbin, J., dissents.
