Michigan Law Review
Defendant gave his car keys to an intoxicated friend and permitted him to operate the vehicle while the defendant was at home in bed.

Although one who permits an intoxicated person to drive his car is guilty of a misdemeanor, he cannot be …

International Law- Criminal Law- Jurisdiction Over Aliens For Crimes Committed Abroad, Frank G. Reeder S. Ed
Michigan Law Review
Six alien defendants were convicted under a federal statute for knowingly making false statements before United States consular officials abroad in order to procure nonquota immigrant visas. Their motion to dismiss this count on the ground that the district court lacked jurisdiction to indict and try aliens for crimes committed outside the territorial limits of the United States was denied. On appeal, held, affirmed. As a necessary incident to its sovereignty, the United States is competent to punish aliens apprehended within the United States for acts against its sovereignty committed outside the country. Rocha v. United States, 288 …

Regulation Of Business - Sec Rule X-10b-5 - Recovery By Corporation Fradulently Induced To Issue Shares, William S. Bach
Michigan Law Review
Defendants, Mountain States Securities Corporation and former officers of Consolidated American Industries, Inc., organized a dummy corporation, the Mid-Atlantic Development Company. The defendants drew a formal contract whereby Mid-Atlantic agreed to transfer worthless Cuban insurance company stock and equally valueless Honduran oil exploration rights to Consolidated in exchange for 700,000 shares of Consolidated stock. Consolidated's former secretary falsely certified a corporate resolution authorizing the issuance of the stock, and its former general counsel advised Consolidated's stock transfer agent that the transaction was exempt from SEC regulation. Acting on these representations, the transfer agent issued the Consolidated stock. Since at this …

Criminal Law - Insane Persons - Competency To Stand Trial, John H. Hess M.D., Henry B. Pearsall S.Ed., Donald A. Slichter S.Ed., Herbert E. Thomas M.D.
Michigan Law Review
Mental unsoundness in a person accused of a crime raises two distinct legal questions. One is the question of the individual's responsibility for his behavior and the other is the question of the individual's competency to enter into the legal procedures of trial or punishment. In recent years considerable attention has been given to matters of responsibility, but relatively little attention has been paid to the problem of incompetency and especially to the consequences of incompetency proceedings. In order to analyze and evaluate the operations of the Michigan law in the area of incompetency to stand trial, two psychiatrists joined …

Criminal Law - Insane Persons - Influence Of Mental Illness On The Parole Return Process, David G. Davies S.Ed., John H. Hess M.D.
Michigan Law Review
Defendants in the criminal process are divided into rigidly exclusive categories of mental health. The competent to stand trial are first separated from the incompetent. Then the competent are divided on the basis of their mental state at the time of their acts between the "sane" and the "insane." As long as these rigid categories are administered in an adversary trial system, some misdirection of victims of serious mental illness into the penal system is almost inevitable. Even where mental illness might otherwise prevent conviction, those accused of non-capital felonies are not likely to raise the question, and few courts …
