STATE v. SCHROEDER
Oregon Supreme Court.
Mar 27, 1968
PER CURIAM.
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 P.2d 771, 27 ALR2d 105; Leland v. Oregon, 1952, 190 Or. 598, 227 P.2d 785, 343 U.S. 790, 72 S Ct 1002, 96 L ed 1302. The argument made here must be made to the legislature.
Affirmed.
