State v. Hoffman , 1982 Minn. LEXIS 1895 ( 1982 )

SCOTT, Justice

(concurring specially).

Rather than create new untested procedure that will cast us onto uncharted waters and surely compound the very confusion that we are striving to eliminate, I would require mandatory bifurcation when a plea of not guilty by reason of mental illness or mental deficiency is entered. This tested procedure is already outlined in Rule 20, Minn.R.Crim.P.
