    Before LOWENSTEIN, P.J., LAURA DENVIR STITH and NEWTON, J.J.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Appellant Echols appeals from his conviction for first-degree murder. In his sole point on appeal, Echols argues that because the court deleted a portion of his videotaped confession, the jury was unable to assess his mental state and thus he was denied his constitutional rights to due process and to present a defense. Affirmed, Rule 30.25(b).
