Mr. JUSTICE CRAVEN specially concurring: I concur in the result reached in this case and the reasoning set forth in that portion of the opinion designated part four in that the case was tried and the appeal is grounded on the defense of insanity predicated upon the fact that the defendant, a latent homosexual, was not criminally responsible for his conduct while repulsing an asserted homosexual attack. The evidence in this case does not establish lack of criminal responsibility nor incompetency on the part of the defendant. “Homosexual panic” has in no way been equated with insanity or incompetency. People v. Jones, 43 Ill.2d 113, 251 N.E.2d 195.
