1Opinion of the CourtHill, J.
Defendant appeals a conviction for rape of a sixteen-year-old woman under 13 V.S.A. § 3201 (1974), 1 and murder of an eight-year-old child under 13 V.S.A. § 2301. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in the first degree and for a period not to exceed twenty years in connection with his conviction for the offense of rape. We review this case for a second time, an earlier conviction having been reversed on grounds that the lower court improperly curtailed evidence directed toward establishing an insanity defense. State v. Smith, 136 Vt. 520, 525, 396 A.2d 126, 128 (1978).
