These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The psychiatric testimony, presented by both sides, was in conflict. The jury could properly weigh the opinions of both psychiatrists and resolve that conflict. In reviewing their determination, we must view the evidence and all reasonable inferences in the light most favorable to the government. Giasser v. United States, 315 U.S. 60 , 80, 62 S.Ct. 457 , 86 L.Ed. 680 (1942). This standard of review extends to the issue of sanity and the credibility of the experts. United States v. Handy, 454 F.2d 885 , 888 (9th Cir.), cert, denied, 409 U.S. 846 , 93 S.Ct. 49 , 34 L.Ed.2d 86 (1972). In addition to the experts, the jury also heard lay witnesses who, because they had observed [the defendant] during the execution of the crime, provided meaningful testimony that the jury could consider. . We hold'that this evidence was sufficient to sustain the verdict.”
