United States v. Andrew Green Ward, Jr.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided April 10, 1972 · Chambers, Wright, Goodwin
456 F.2d 688; 1972 U.S. App. LEXIS 10200 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Andrew Green Ward, Jr.

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Ward was convicted of armed bank robbery and appeals. We affirm.

We find the contention that there was an “atmosphere of fear” throughout the trial not supported by the record. Also, the contention that public trial was lacking when three teenagers were excluded from the building is without merit. And, there was adequate evidence of guilt.

On this record, evidence of a previous arrest does not require reversal.

Any burden the government had as to showing the fairness of the pre-trial line-up was met.
