Description

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction of first degree murder in which the principal questions presented arise from conflicting evidence regarding the defendant's sanity and a court ordered psychiatric examination of the defendant during the court of the trial. We affirm. It is uncontradicted that on December 23, 1970 on a street in Payette, Idaho defendant-appellant Earl Gerdau killed the deceased, one Jim Meechan, by shooting him seven times. On the afternoon in question Gerdau was drinking with his son and friends at his home and also at various taverns in Payette, Idaho. Jim Meechan was the owner of one of those taverns. Gerdau and his companions visited Meechan's tavern three separate times on that day. The first was uneventful, but his second visit resulted in a disturbance between him and a female bartender. Following that disturbance Gerdau left but later returned for his third visit at which time the disturbance re-erupted. Meechan entered the disturbance and forcibly ejected Gerdau from the tavern. Gerdau was then driven to his home by his son but shortly thereafter took the son's pickup truck and left home. He first drove to the home of Meechan where he remained for a few moments without seeking entry, and then drove to Meechan's Tavern. Gerdau arrived at the tavern at approximately 7:30 in the evening at which time Meechan was leaving. Gerdau stopped the truck, alighted and shot Meechan seven times with a semi-automatic pistol in front of several witnesses. Gerdau then re-entered the pickup and drove slowly home where he was arrested. He made no attempt to conceal his activities, or to escape. There was evidence that at the time of the arrest Gerdau appeared to be intoxicated.
