ROBERTS, Justice.

Linfield Franklin appeals from his conviction of murder, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 201(1)(A) (1983), following a jury trial in the Superior Court, York County. On appeal, the defendant argues that the Superior Court erred in refusing to suppress oral and written statements and in excluding testimony of an expert witness. Because we conclude that the Superior Court erroneously excluded the expert testimony, we vacate the judgment.
