Description
In 1989 Dennis Potter confessed to the 1976 strangulation murder of his wife, Norma. In 1990 Potter was convicted of murder in the second degree. Prior to his 1989 confession, law enforcement authorities had attributed Norma's death to injuries sustained in a 1-car accident. Potter now contends the trial court should have granted his motion to dismiss based on precharging delay. In the alternative, he seeks reversal of his conviction, arguing that the trial court's failure to give his "deific command" jury instruction on insanity denied him a fair trial. We affirm.
