United States v. Bobby Andrew Ivory
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Bobby Andrew IVORY, Defendant-Appellant
Opinion
PER CURIAM:
Ivory appeals from a judgment of conviction on two counts entered on a jury verdict of guilty of passing and possessing counterfeit money in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 472 . Without having moved for a judgment of acquittal in the district court, Ivory seeks reversal on the ground that the evidence was insufficient to warrant a conviction under either count. We affirm.
In a long unbroken line of cases, United States v. Hopkins, 5 Cir. 1972, 458 F.2d 1353 , being the most recent, we have adhered to the principle that “[i]n such a case our review of the sufficiency of the evidence is limited to a determination of whether there has occurred a ‘manifest miscarriage of jus *614 tice.’ We have held that such a miscarriage would exist only if it appears that the record is ‘devoid of evidence pointing to guilt.’ ”
Id.
at 1354 (footnotes omitted).
The evidence before the jury in this case not only pointed to guilt, it was overwhelming.
Affirmed.
