Stodick v. Cupp
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Stodick v. Cupp, 431 F.2d 1229 (9th Cir. 1970)
Stodick v. Cupp
Opinion of the Court
It was not error to deny appellant’s petition for writ of habeas corpus. The error in state trial on which appellant relies was admission without objection of testimony by a police officer that in response to an inquiry as to ownership of an automobile appellant had stated: “I’d rather not say.” On this record this was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
Judgment affirmed.
