Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit·Decided April 12, 1956·No. 15664_1·Published·Cited by 5 cases
Opinion
It is necessary to consider only the first specification of error to the effect that the district court erred in failing to charge on the presumption of innocence. Appellant's exception to such failure duly reserved must be sustained. Coffin v. U. S., 156 U.S. 432, 15 S.Ct. 394, 39 L.Ed. 481.
The judgment of conviction is accordingly reversed and the case remanded for a new trial.
Reversed and remanded.
