*353MOSK, J.
I concur in the well-reasoned majority opinion.
In response to the criticism of the dissent that in some cavalier manner we are encroaching upon the legislative preserve, I repeat the conclusion advanced in my separate concurring opinion in People v. Kelly (1973) 10 Cal.3d 565, 578 [111 Cal.Rptr. 171, 516 P.2d 875]: the M’Naghten rule must be abandoned, the Legislature is invited to adopt a substitute therefor whenever it considers Penal Code revision, and trial courts are directed in the interim to adhere to the ALI formula (id., at p. 582).
