State v. Yarbrough
State v. Yarbrough
Concurring Opinion
concurs, particularly noting that the sanity commission is not shown to have examined defendant as to capacity at the time of the alleged offenses; he is entitled to have an expert examination on the issue since the burden of proof is on him. C.Cr.P. arts. 650 and 652. Also important is the fact that he has a history of mental problems. See Ake v. Oklahoma, 470 U.S. 68, 105 S.Ct. 1087, 84 L.Ed.2d 53 (1985).
Dissenting Opinion
would grant, being of the opinion that the court of appeal erred in reversing the trial judge’s denial of defendant’s motion for fees to obtain an expert psychiatrist. Defendant has not made the requisite showing under Ake v. Oklahoma,
