United States v. Clifford D. Lewis
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Clifford D. LEWIS, Defendant-Appellant
Opinion
PER CURIAM:
The judgment of conviction in this case of theft from the United States mail is affirmed.
The trial courts made several close rulings in Miranda, 1
Griffin v. California, 2
and Jackson v. Denno 3
areas. If error, it was not aggravated.
We find the properly admissible evidence was so overwhelming that Chapman 4
and Harrington 5
indicate the conviction should be affirmed. However, the procedure here followed in inquiring into admissions would result, under Jackson v. Denno, in a reversal in a close ease.
We find the issue about the trial court’s response to a question of the jury not well taken.
