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

PER CURIAM:

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.
