United States v. Mark Stacey

452 F.2d 1204, 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 6625

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The errors claimed on the direct appeal of this conviction for interstate transportation of a stolen automobile concern the sequestration of a witness and the permissible range of questions concerning matters which tend to show bias and the incredibility of a witness. The law leaves both matters to the sound discretion of the trial judge. A reading of the whole record reveals no abuse of discretion.

In this case, the failure to sequester a witness did not rise to the level of denial of due process, as argued by defendant.

Affirmed.
