Description
The defendant, Samuel Joe Mack (defendant) appeals his conviction based on jury verdicts of guilty to one count of first degree sexual assault, section 18-3-402(1)(b), C.R.S. 1973 (1976 Supp.), and two counts of felony menacing, section 18-3-206, C.R.S. 1973. His claims relate to his competency to proceed to trial and various rulings made by the court during the sanity trial and the trial on the merits. He first asserts that he was denied due process of law by the trial court's refusal to consider a second motion for a competency determination following a prior judicial determination of competency. He also challenges the court's refusal to admit hospital records during the sanity trial and the sufficiency of evidence to support the jury's finding of sanity. With regard to his trial on the merits, the defendant claims that the court erroneously denied his motion to suppress out-of-court and in-court identifications, improperly admitted testimony of his refusal to sign a Miranda advisement form, and incorrectly instructed the jury on the culpable mental state for first degree sexual assault. Finding no reversible error, we affirm the judgment of conviction.
