UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Brendon John SCOTT, Defendant-Appellant, 405 F.2d 495

PER CURIAM: The reliability of the psychiatric testimony (that appellant was suffering from a chronic brain syndrome and that as a consequence he was unable to distinguish right from wrong at the time of the commission of the offense) was severely brought in question. There was ample justification for the court’s apparent rejection of it. (Trial was before the court without jury and without request for specific findings.) Buatte v. United States, 330 F.2d 342, (9th Cir. 1964), is thus distinguishable. Judgment affirmed.
