“Q. So you were trying to get a Not Guilty by Reason of Mental Disease or Defect? A. That’s correct. Q. Were there any instructions submitted on that? A. No, because the doctors’ reports, both the State’s and mine said that he wasn’t really incompetent at the time, or incompetent at the time of trial.
