467 F.2d 1378, 1972 U.S. App. LEXIS 7236
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit·Decided October 10, 1972·No. 72-2138·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

John Henry Shoffeitt appeals from his adjudication of guilt and sentence to two years confinement after a jury verdict of guilty for unlawfully, wilfully and knowingly concealing a quantity of non-taxpaid distilled spirits in a certain 1969 black Ford automobile, in violation of Section 5601(a) (12), Title 26, U.S. Code. The sole question raised on this appeal is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict of the jury.

Although the evidence was in conflict, when viewed in the light most favorable to the government, Glasser v. United States, 1944, 315 U.S. 60, 62 S.Ct. 457, 86 L.Ed. 680, it amply supported the jury’s verdict.

The judgment appealed from is

Affirmed.
