Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by  This is a direct appeal by Dennis D. Perkins from his
            convictions for first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, and
            rape. Perkins pled insanity.   Perkins raises six issues on appeal. He contests the
            voluntariness of his confessions, claims he was incompetent to
            stand trial (and that he was denied his statutory and
            constitutional right to be present during an in-chambers
            discussion of his competency); argues he was entitled to an
            instruction that rape cannot occur after the victim is dead;
            argues a mistrial should have been granted because of his conduct
            during trial; claims he was entitled to an instruction on
            second-degree murder and on manslaughter; and argues the evidence
            was insufficient for the jury to find him other than insane at
            the time of the crimes.
