United States of America, and v. Biagio Campisi

Ninth Circuit

United States of America, and v. Biagio Campisi

445 F.2d 317, 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 8540

Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit·Decided August 13, 1971·No. 71-1362·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The question on appeal is whether the jury was entitled to find beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was legally responsible for the bank robberies which he committed. Conversely, should a motion for a judgment of acquittal *318 have been granted because of his mental problems, which were certainly serious?

The jury was rightly instructed under Wade v. United States, 426 F.2d 64 (9th Cir. 1970).

We cannot say as a matter of law that the insanity issue should not have gone to the jury.
