v.
SANI-PINE CORPORATION
UNITED STATES
SANI-PINE CORPORATION
153 F.2d 1015
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (1946)
Opinion of the Court
FRANK, Circuit Judge.
Defendant argues that the information stated no crime because it did not charge the corporation with “knowingly” or “wilfully” committing the acts. But this statute does not require proof of any awareness of wrongdoing. United States v. Dotterweich, 320 U.S. 277, 280-281, 64 S.Ct. 134, 88 L.Ed. 48.1 In any event, an information pleading in the words of the statute is sufficient. United States v. Groopman, 2 Cir., 147 F. 2d 782, 785-786; cf, United States v. Leiner, 2 Cir., 143 F. 2d 298, 300.
Affirmed.
