JOHN MICHAEL COFFEY, PETITIONER-APPELLEE,
WALTER E. CRAVEN, WARDEN, CALIFORNIA STATE PRISON AT FOLSOM, RESPONDENT-APPELLANT
442 F.2d 1337
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (1971)
Positive Treatment
Cited by 6 cases
Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:
The order granting a writ of habeas corpus is reversed.
We find that Coffey’s psychiatric evidence based upon observation years later was too remote to be of much value in this case in evaluating the situation at the time of trial.
The record seems clear that the state trial judge had no doubt as to the competency of Coffey at any critical time.
We cannot find that the happenings in the state process at the trial or in the legal processes preceding the trial show any denial of any federal constitutional right.
