United States v. Gordon Michael Duane Novel
444 F.2d 114; 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 9581
(Federal Reporter, Second Series)
United States v. Gordon Michael Duane Novel
Opinion
Novel appeals from a conviction of a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2512(1) (a) for willfully carrying in interstate commerce a device primarily useful for surreptitious interception of wire or oral communications. We affirm.
We have examined the record and have considered appellant’s several assignments of error. We find them without merit, concluding that the statute is not unconstitutionally vague and ambiguous, that the evidence was sufficient to sustain the conviction, that the trial court properly refused appellant’s proposed jury instruction, and that appellant’s pretrial statements were properly admitted in evidence.
Affirmed.
