Opinion of the Court
This cause is before us upon the report of the Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in criminal cases which unanimously recommends a modification of Standard Jury Instruction (Criminal) 3.04(b), concerning the status of a defendant found not guilty because legally insane. We accept the proposed amendment and hereby amend instruction 3.04(b) as follows, to be effective immediately:
*601 If your verdict is that the defendant is not guilty because legally insane, that does not mean he will be released from custody. I can conduct additional proceedings to determine if he should be committed to a mental hospital, kept in jail or given other treatment.
The Bar is directed to notify all jury instruction subscribers of this amendment.
It is so ordered.
