Criminal Law And Procedure-Instructions To Jury

Michigan Law Review

Defendant was indicted for unlawful possession of liquor. He offered no substantial defense, and the trial judge, in charging the jury, said that while they were sole judges of the facts, "that on the undisputed evidence this man is guilty, and it is your duty to convict him."

A. 2d, 1932) 61 F. (2d) 781.

In addition, the non-resident defendant, required to appear in Minnesota, is deprived of evidence and is frequently put to useless expenditure; yet the Minnesota court, with …
