The following excerpt is from United States v. Karnes, 437 F.2d 284 (9th Cir. 1971):
20 At least as to Karnes who committed the military equivalent of a felony because he was sentenced to ten years in prison (18 U.S.C. 1), there can be no doubt that absent other evidence the implicit finding that felons have a propensity for violence is clearly supportable. Williams v. United States, 426 F.2d 253 (9th Cir. 1970).
