Description
Appellant Tyson and one Bruce Allen Kimble were charged by way of information with two counts of murder in the perpetration of first degree burglary and one count of first degree burglary. A jury in the Marion Criminal Court found Tyson guilty of all three counts on August 24, 1977. He was sentenced to life imprisonment on each of the murder counts and to a term of ten to twenty years for burglary. The charges arose from an incident which occurred on or about October 4, 1975, when two elderly ladies, who were sisters, were killed during a burglary of their home located in Indianapolis. Also charged in relation to these offenses was one James Coleman who was charged in a separate information. Nine alleged errors are argued by appellant. These concern: (1) the admission into evidence of an incriminating statement made by appellant; (2) remarks made by the trial Judge in a videotape shown to the panel of jurors during an orientation session prior to their being called for trial; (3) remarks made by the trial Judge to the jury during voir dire; (4) the courts decision to restrict counsel to a total of twenty minutes for interrogating prospective jurors; (5) the trial Judge informing the jury that two expert psychiatric witnesses were appointed by the Court; (6) the Courts instruction No.
