1. “"A criminal defendant does not have a right to a mental examination merely because he requests one. Blevins v. State, 516 So.2d 914 , 915 (Ala.Cr.App. 1987); Marlow v. State, 538 So.2d 804 , 807 (Ala.Cr.App. 1988). Nor does the fact that an accused is indigent automatically entitle him to a free psychiatric evaluation. Nelson v. State, 405 So.2d 392 , 394 (Ala.Cr.App. 1980), reversed on other grounds, 405 So.2d 401 (Ala. 1980); Bailey v. State, 421 So.2d 1364 , 1367 (Ala.Cr.App. 1982). An indigent defendant will be entitled to state-funded psychiatric assistance only after he has made a preliminary showing that his sanity at the time of the offense is questionable. Holmes v. State, 497 So.2d 1149 , 1151 (Ala.Cr.App. 1986); Sabiar v. State, 526 So.2d 661 , 663 (Ala.Cr.App. 1988)."”
