The following excerpt is from Hansberry v. United States, 295 F.2d 800 (9th Cir. 1961):
We next reach appellant's point that there was error in instructions as to reasonable doubt. The instructions as given were proper (Tr. 1267-68). Taken as a whole, the instructions correctly conveyed the concept of reasonable doubt to the jury. Holland v. United States, supra, 348 U.S. at page 140, 75 S.Ct. at page 127.
