Okla. Stat. tit. 22, § 22-925: Claim of insanity - Duty of court and jury - Commitment to

institution.

When it is contended on behalf of the defendant in any criminal

prosecution that such defendant is at the time of the trial a person

who is impaired by reason of mental retardation, a mentally ill

person, an insane person, or a person of unsound mind, the court

shall submit to the jury a proper form of verdict, and if the jury

finds the defendant not guilty on account of such insanity, mental

illness, or unsoundness of mind, they shall so state in their

verdict, and the court shall thereupon order the defendant committed

to the state hospital for the mentally ill, or other state

institution provided for the care and treatment of cases such as the

one before the court, until the sanity and soundness of mind of the

defendant be judicially determined, and such person be discharged

from the institution according to law.
