United States v. Taylor
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
464 F.2d 240 (1972)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Ralph Taylor (defendant) was pulled over, and law enforcement found $1,560 in counterfeit money tucked in magazines and roadmaps all over the vehicle. Taylor later admitted that the magazine containing some of the bills belonged to him. Taylor was charged with fraud. At trial, a Secret Service agent testified that the bills were counterfeit. The jury returned a guilty verdict. Taylor appealed, arguing that the question of his guilt should not have been submitted to the jury because no reasonable jury could find that Taylor had an intent to defraud.
