Review Denied December 8, 1981.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert K. Corbin, Atty. Gen. by William J. Schafer III and Robert S. Golden, Asst. Attys. Gen., Phoenix, for appellee.

Robert L. Murray, Tucson, for appellant.


OPINION

HOWARD, Judge.

Appellant was convicted of armed robbery. A surveillance camera located at the convenience mart where the robbery took place caught appellant in the act.

He claims the trial court committed reversible error when it refused to allow his medical witness to testify to the effect of LSD upon the average human. We agree.
