OPINION OF THE COURT
Rosenblatt, J.
In the two cases before us, defendants appeal from separate orders affirming two unrelated judgments of conviction. Both turn on the introduction of psychiatric evidence in the defense of a criminal case. We hold that the trial court in each case acted within its discretion in precluding the defendant from introducing a portion of his psychiatric evidence. Accordingly, we affirm the orders of the Appellate Division in both cases.
