Gilbert Garza Vela v. United States
Gilbert Garza Vela v. United States
Opinion
Appellant was convicted by a jury of violations of the narcotic laws and filed a motion for a new trial claiming only that a recanting affidavit of a jointly tried co-defendant who testified was “newly discovered evidence” and that a juror was guilty of such misconduct as would vitiate the verdict. After a full hearing the District Judge over-ruled this motion and appellant complains of that action and raises for the first time the sufficiency of the evidence.
We are unable to say, as a matter of law, that the evidence was not sufficient to support the verdict of the jury or that the District Judge abused his discretion in over-ruling the appellant’s motion. Hence, this judgment should be and is affirmed.
