Description
After breaking into the residence, defendant armed himself with a knife and then killed Jeanette King. Defendant appeals his convictions of aggravated burglary and second degree murder. See § 30-16-4(B), N.M.S.A. 1978 and § 30-2-1, N.M.S.A. 1978 (Cum. Supp. 1981). Issues listed in the docketing statement, but not briefed, were abandoned. State v. Gallegos, 92 N.M. 336, 587 P.2d 1347 (Ct. App. 1978). We discuss the three issues that were briefed: (1) the trial court's refusal to instruct on voluntary manslaughter; (2) the trial court's refusal of defendant's requested instruction defining mental disease; and (3) the trial court's denial of a mistrial when a prosecution witness referred to defendant's prior indictment for rape.
