Opinion
The judgment of conviction for a threat on the life of the President of the United States is affirmed. 18 U.S.C. § 871.
The defendant, incarcerated at Lompoc, California, did not have much capacity to carry out his threat, but the threat is the crime.
The defense was that defendant did not have the requisite intent for the crime. That was a question of fact which he lost.
