DECUIR, J.

The Defendant, Ricky Langley, was indicted for the first degree murder of six-year-old Jeremy Guillory. He pled not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity. After a jury trial, the Defendant was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. He now seeks review of his conviction, raising fifteen assignments of error. Because we find error in the conduct of the trial, we reverse and remand for a new trial.
