Description
Appellant, Lindol Curtis, was convicted of two counts of murder in the first degree by a jury in the Circuit Court of New Madrid County, Missouri, in connection with the deaths, on May 7, 1974, of his former wife and her mother. Following rendition of judgment and imposition of two life sentences which were ordered to be served consecutively, an appeal was perfected by Lindol Curtis to the Springfield District of the Court of Appeals, where the conviction was affirmed. Upon application of Curtis, the cause was transferred here by order of this Court. We determine the cause the same as on original appeal. Mo. Const. Art. V, § 10. At his arraignment, Curtis entered a plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect excluding responsibility. Thereafter, Curtis underwent a psychiatric examination conducted by Dr. Metin Arat of State Hospital No. 4 at Farmington, Missouri. Another psychiatric examination of Curtis was performed by Dr. Robert Lam at the request of the defense.
