State Ex Rel. Leonard Smith v. George M. Book Reviews

State Ex Rel. Leonard Smith v. George M. by Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Book Summary

While a criminal trial is unwarranted when pretrial psychiatric examinations clearly reveal by a preponderance of the evidence, that the accused at the time the crime was committed, was not criminally responsible for his acts, W.Va. Code, 27-6A-1 [1977] et seq. provides no mandatory pretrial mechanism for resolving the issue of criminal responsibility; consequently, adjudication of criminal responsibility before trial is entirely within the combined discretion of the trial court Judge and the prosecuting attorney, since absent a motion to nolle an indictment by the prosecuting attorney based on persuasive pretrial medical reports, the trial court Judge has no discretion to deny the State a trial by jury on the issue of criminal responsibility.
