George Loran Dana v. State

OPINION

DAVID GAULTNEY, Justice.

Appellant George Loran Dana pleaded “not guilty by reason of insanity” to the charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The jury found him guilty. Dana claims that he was legally incompetent to stand trial, and that evidence of his drug use was improperly admitted.

And he argues that the statutory prohibition against informing jurors of the consequences of finding him insane violated his right to a fair trial.
