Hallows, J.
(dissenting). I respectfully dissent because of my dissatisfaction of this court’s definition of “legal insanity.” My views are set forth in the dissent in State v. Esser (1962), 16 Wis. (2d) 567, 115 N. W. (2d) 505, and in my concurring opinion in Kwosek v. State (1960), 8 Wis. (2d) 640, 100 N. W. (2d) 339. This court should again take a long, hard look at its definition of legal insanity and the field of mental illness.
