... that after his release from a hospital for the criminally insane, Richard Dixon burgled $16 from a credit union and hijacked a jet to Cuba? Source: This covers most of the pieces. The hijacking conviction is covered here.
@Storye book: Thanks for the review and nice comments. I didn't see any "copyvio transgressions" in summarizing the appellate court's published decision, but I have now placed the phrase "written request for temporary custody" in quotes. I didn't want to change the key phrase, as it's the legally operative language from the statute. I also tinkered with wording in a couple other spots. If there's something else, let me know and I'll address it. Cbl62 (talk) 17:49, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
I went to promote this, but can't verify the hook. Neither of the cited source seem to say anything about Dixon being in a hospital for the criminally insane. Did I just miss something? -- RoySmith(talk) 19:11, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
@RoySmith:This source notes that, after his competency was questioned, he was hospitalized at Matteawan State Hospital for three years. Matteawan operated from 1892 until its closure in 1977 as a hospital for the criminally insane. See Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Cbl62 (talk) 19:24, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
