United States v. Mark Stacey

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
United States v. Mark Stacey, 452 F.2d 1204 (5th Cir. 1971)
1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 6625

United States v. Mark Stacey

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

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.
