Description

Reporter of Decisions Submitted on Briefs: November 20, 1998 ¶1 Harold Pulsifer appeals from the judgment of conviction entered in the Superior Court (Kennebec County, Marden, J.) following a jury waived trial at which he was found guilty of murder in violation of 17-A M.R.S.A. § 201(1)(A) (1983).1 Pulsifer contends that his conviction for murder should have been reduced to manslaughter, and that the trial court erred in finding that he did not meet his burden of showing that he was adequately provoked in causing the death of Wrendy Hayne, pursuant to 17-A M.R.S.A. § 201(3) (Supp. 1998).2 Finding no error, we affirm the judgment. ¶2 Harold Pulsifer voluntarily admitted himself to the Augusta Mental Health Institute (AMHI) in 1992 after repeatedly receiving extended residential treatment over the course of the previous six years. He was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, which is a combination of schizophrenia, a thought disorder, and major depression or bipolar/manic depression, a mood disorder. This disorder is characterized by a lack of insight which means that he does not have the ""ability to see his own illness, and to see his behavior in the way other people might."" Pulsifer also has poor judgment and a distorted view of situations, lacks initiative, and is often withdrawn.
