Wilfred W. Nielsen v. Frank X. Hopkins, Warden, Nebraska State Penitentiarygreen
ca8 · 1995 · cited in 3 Wyoming opinions naming this issue, 2003–2008
2 sentences

2003In reaching this result, we cited Nielsen v. Hopkins, 58 F.3d 1331, 1335 (8th Cir.1995), in which the court "concluded that admitting the act but denying the requisite mental state by an intoxication defense to first degree murder charges is not the functional equivalent of a guilty plea." Id. [T 47] - Our holding in Olsen is not particularly helpful in resolving Mr. Sincock's claim because it was based in large part on Mr. Olsen's several confessions to having shot the vietims. - Unlike the facts before us in Olsen, Mr. Sincock denied shooting Becky.
