United States v. Carl Spangler

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit October 17, 1969

United States v. Carl Spangler, 416 F.2d 969 (9th Cir. 1969)

Chambers, Ely, Kil-Kenny, Per Curiam

Opinion

DECISION

PER CURIAM.

The judgment appealed from is reversed. The question of proof of possession is a close one, but we find it falls a little short of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, resolving here, of course, all inferences in favor of the government.

It would appear that the indictment should be dismissed.
