Rather than accept the circuit court’s finding of fact as to the nature of the mental illness or infirmity, the majority substitutes its own findings for that of the circuit court. The majority finds the witness suffered from ‘schizophrenia’ (supra, p. 140 [ 332 N.W.2d 757 ]) and ‘became-, a catatonic schizophrenic’ (supra, p. 146 [ 332 N.W.2d 757 ]).””
