OPINION

BUSSEY, Presiding Judge:

In the early morning hours of April 28, 1981, Everett Smith responded to a knock on the door of his Oklahoma City residence. As he opened the door, Smith's next door neighbor, Joseph Wayne Lamb, stumbled inside, groaned, and collapsed in a pool of blood. Lamb's throat had been slit to the extent that his larynx was severed, and he had been stabbed several times. He died before the police arrived on the scene.
