Willie A. Crawford v. United States

220 F.2d 352, 1955 U.S. App. LEXIS 3348

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Pointing out that there were no exceptions to the court’s instructions, ap-pellee asserts that this court erred in commenting on the inadequacy of the trial court’s instructions to the jury as to what constituted a voluntary confession. We did not reverse the case, however, because of the court’s instructions in this respect. On the contrary, after reviewing all the evidence, we held the confession was involuntary as a matter of law.

It is ordered that the petition for rehearing in the above entitled and numbered cause be, and it is hereby denied.

HUTCHESON, Chief Judge.

I dissent.
