1986This presumption of insanity canceled the previously existing presumption of sanity and made it necessary for the state to rebut that presumption, Butler v. State, supra, 252 Ga. at 137-138 , by producing evidence, inter alia, "of the mental condition of the accused at the time of the offense, or that before and after the offense which tends to show his or her mental condition at the time of the offense. [Cit.]" Id. at 138 .

Brown v. Stategreen

2 sentences

1984The question before us, as in Brown v. State, 250 Ga. 66, 69 (c) ( 295 SE2d 727 ) (1982), is "on whom the burden of proof lay in this case. . . ." The majority holds that "an order of the Probate Court finding one a `mentally ill person requiring involuntary treatment,' OCGA § 37-3-1 (12) (Code Ann. § 88-501), cancels a previously existing presumption of sanity and raises a presumption of insanity." (Opinion, p. 137) In Brown , we recognized that "`special plea of insanity' is a misnomer because the issue is one of incompetence [to stand trial] rather than insanity.

1931Its power to do this can not ordinarily be traced to any particular statute, and exists by virtue of its general equitable authority over its officers and suitors, though in some States the matter is regulated by statute, which', however, would not seem to materially change the previously existing doctrine, except perhaps to make set-off more a matter of right.” The author cites in note 3, among other authorities, Meriwether v. Bird, 9 Ga. 594 , and Langston v. Roby, 68 Ga. 406 .
