United States v. Stephen Teller

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that “questions of jurisdiction are raised by two facts—the crime took place on an Indian reservation, and so trial was to be in federal court, and the defendant is an Indian, and so perhaps not subject to the state’s civil commitment proce- dures.”
• finding minimum competence despite defendant’s guilty plea in response to attorney’s mistaken advice that acquittal by reason of insanity would still result in “spend[ing] the rest of your life in an insane asylum”
