Syllabus

The trial court did not err by finding appellant competent to stand trial where appellant failed to meet his burden of proof establishing his incompetence by a preponderance of the evidence. The trial court also did not err by instructing the jury on intoxication where appellant's intoxication was raised as part of his not guilty by reason of insanity defense, nor did the trial court err by excluding testimony from appellant's intended expert witness where the proffered testimony was an unreliable, untested assumption that was inadmissible pursuant to Evid.R. 702.
