High Court of American Samoa March 21, 1990, CR No. 8-81 (American Samoa Government v. Satele)

On Motion for Modification:

In 1981 the defendant was found not guilty by reason of insanity on two murder charges. The verdict was based on the testimony of two psychiatrists that the defendant had suffered brain damage which made him unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of his conduct or incapable of conforming his conduct to the law.
