United States v. Moore
United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit, 1973
486 F.2d 1139
Audio opinion coming soon
Brief Fact Summary
Appellant contends that his conviction for possession of heroin was improper because, as a heroin addict, he should not be held responsible for being in possession of the drug.
Rule of Law and Holding
The court held that the conviction should be sustained, and that mere addiction to heroin is not a sufficient defense to the crime of possession of a narcotic.
