United States v. Danny Roney

Summary

The court held that 18 U.S.C. § 4243(g) permits revocation of an insanity acquittee’s conditional discharge only for failure to comply with the prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment, not for violation of a freestanding ancillary condition. It nevertheless affirmed because Roney’s no-weapons restriction was an express, treatment-related component of his prescribed regimen, and his firearm possession violated that regimen. The court therefore upheld the revocation and the finding that continued release posed a substantial danger.
