TODD, Justice (concurring specially).
I concur in the results of this decision. However, I would point out that the use of psychiatric testimony relative to the defense of insanity is now governed by our decisions and the change in our rules of *17criminal procedure which mandate a bifurcated trial. See State v. Bouwman, 328 N.W.2d 703 (Minn.1982); State v. Hoffman, 328 N.W.2d 709 (Minn.1982); Minn.R. Crim.P. 20.02, subd. 6(2) (1983).
