United States v. Kendrick
United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
331 F.2d 110 (1964)
Facts
Kendrick (defendant) was convicted and filed a motion to vacate his sentence based on the grounds that he was incompetent to stand trial. At the hearing on this motion, Kendrick’s trial attorney testified that throughout the trial, Kendrick was responsive, logical, and appeared to comprehend the nature of the trial. The trial court denied Kendrick’s motion. He appealed on the grounds that the trial attorney’s testimony should have been excluded under the attorney-client privilege.
