“[An] empty assertion of plain error, withoút supporting argument or analysis of prejudicial impact, does not meet the spirit or intent of the plain error rule.” | The testimony of the evaluator who examined the defendant at the time of trial conflicted with that of the defendant’s expert who performed an evaluation 11 years after the murder. Thus, a peremptory instruction was not available.
