criminal charges because Of
insanity.
Last month the Court Of
Appeals, in a three-judge rul-
ing, reversed a District Court
ruling and held that Leach
could be kept in st. Elizabeths
for the time being at least.
The law challenged in the
petition for rehearing provides
for commitment to st. Eliza
beths after an acquital by
reason of insanity so the per-
sons present mental condition
can be determined. 1t also
provides for determination as
to whether such a person may
be dangerous to himself or the
community.
The petition for the rehear-
ing asks, Does the legislation
set adequate standards for con-
filming a person in a mental
institution possibly for life?"
In the appellate court ruling
in July, Judge George T. Wash
ington recalled that seven psy-
chiatrists testified at the Dis
trlct Court habeaS corpue pro-
ceeding that Leach would be
dangerous to the community if
released. The judge pointed
out that five of the psychiatrists
stated Leach was suffering
from "a mental disease and
two others said he was not.
The July appellate opinion
reversed a ruling by District
Court Judge Henry A. Schwein-
haut ordering Leach'S release.
Judge Schweinhaut did not
reach the question whether he
could order Leach held in the
hospital as sane but danger :
Gus. The Court Of Appeals said,
in effect, that this can be done.
Leach had been acquitted in
District Court on insanity
grounds on a robbery count
and in another case involving
possession of stolen property
