“Inasmuch as defendant did not assign as error on appeal the failure of the trial judge to place the burden of proving the absence of heat of passion or the absence of self-defense on the state, . . . (citation omitted) he has waived his right now to complain about such errors. Hankerson v. North Carolina, 432 U.S. 233 , 244, n. 8, 97 S.Ct. 2339, 2345, 53 L.Ed.2d 306 (1977).”
