Supreme Court of South Carolina November 1, 1983, 21996 (State v. Elmore)

Per Curiam:

Appellant Edward Lee Elmore was convicted of murder, first degree criminal sexual conduct, and burglary and sentenced to death. We reverse the convictions, vacate the sentence and remand for a new trial.

The appellant first contends that the trial judge erred in not holding a hearing to determine his competency to stand trial. Appellant relies on State v. Blair, 275 S. C. 529, 273 S.
