Opinion
In this appeal from a conviction by the court after trial without a jury, defendant challenges the validity of the M’Naghten rule. ORS 136.410.
Defendant argues the M’Naghten rule is outmoded and should be replaced by the American Law Institute’s Model Penal Code definitions of criminal responsibility. The validity of the M’Naghten rule statute and its application do not require further review by the court. State of Oregon v. Garver, 1950, 190 Or 291, 225 P2d 771, 27 ALR2d 105; Leland v. Oregon, 1952, 190 Or 598, 227 P2d 785, 343 US 790, 72 S Ct 1002, 96 L ed 1302. The argument made here must be made to the legislature.
Affirmed.
