United States v. Mark Stacey
Opinion
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.
