United States v. Carl Marion Sisk, Jr.

Fourth Circuit

United States v. Carl Marion Sisk, Jr.

390 F.2d 652

Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit·Decided February 8, 1968·No. 11512·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

We find the evidence identifying this defendant as the bank robber quite sufficient to support the conviction.

The defendant took the witness stand in support of a claimed alibi. In the course of his direct examination, he volunteered the fact that he had been apprehended in the act of a later robbery of the same bank. Under those circumstances, there was certainly no impropriety in permitting the District Attorney on cross-examination to inquire about his conviction for the second robbery.

Affirmed.
