Just been reading the comments. Some prick already wants to rain on Dale's parade;

I'll offer this insight to Mr. Morris in the odd chance that he puts more stake in the online comments of random strangers than the advice of legal counsel:
The law against bank robbery in the state of Michigan is codified in the Michigan Penal Code, listed as Act 328 of 1931. Specifically, bank robbery is outlawed by Section 750.531. After the preamble of Act 328, prior to the listing of the sections, is a short phrase: "The People of the State of Michigan enact:"
This is known as an enacting clause. It pertains to all items listed after the colon. There is no need to include a separate enacting clause for each section and subsection. In fact, the mere act of officially publishing a law in an official register is normally deemed sufficient even if no statement of enaction is included.
If this is his actual defense, I feel sorry for him. Unless of course, he's trying to set up an insanity plea. Unfortunately for him, the intention to take action in order to support an insanity plea is normally sufficient evidence against the plea itself.
In other words, enjoy your 3 hots and a cot for the rest of your life buddy.
If you plead insanity it proves that you are not insane? Where have I heard that before?
There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane, he had to fly them. If he flew them, he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to, he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
