1Opinion of the Court

HENDERSON, Justice.

This is an expedited appeal from an order granting a new trial. We affirm.

In the early morning hours of June 1, 1984, a knife-wielding fight broke out between Victoria Dupris, defendant-appellee herein, and Dawn White Eagle. This was after the two, with others, had consumed alcohol and smoked marijuana. The fight occurred in Dupris’ trailer house in Pierre and caused a severe facial laceration to White Eagle. On July 16, 1984, Dupris was charged with aggravated assault, SDCL 22-18-1.1(2). She entered pleas of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity.
