United States v. Carl Marion Sisk, Jr.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided February 8, 1968 · Haynsworth, Craven, Mer-Hige
390 F.2d 652 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Carl Marion Sisk, Jr.

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.
