United States v. Benjamin Franklin Hankins
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided May 2, 1969 · Brown, Godbold, Cabot
410 F.2d 753; 1969 U.S. App. LEXIS 12545 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Benjamin Franklin Hankins

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The record demonstrates that appellant adequately preserved an exception to the court’s failure to give a requested instruction on insanity. Oral argument demonstrated that the case must be reversed and remanded for retrial under Blake v. United States, 5 Cir. (en banc) 1969, 407 F.2d 908 and it was so ordered from the bench.

Reversed and remanded.
