Trial judge correctly preferred prosecution psychiatrist's opinion based on his more extensive, objective assessment and rejected defence psychiatrist's report as deficient; defence failed to prove legal insanity on balance of probabilities; calling prosecution psychiatrist during prosecution case was procedurally premature but did not prejudice accused; conviction for murder affirmed and death sentence commuted to 35 years imprisonment plus 12 strokes of the cane.
