Our Rule 234 states that "[t]he court shall conduct the voir dire examination of prospective jurors." Defendant argues that any of the expert witnesses who testified for either side should have been examined at the sentencing hearing on this point.

Defense counsel could have questioned the expert as to particular symptoms and then asked if that was consistent with the diagnosis of "borderline."
