U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit · Decided June 11, 1945 · Arnold, Groner, Miller

Clinton v. United States

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This case is before us without assignments of error. We are asked to examine the record in order to ascertain whether the evidence supports a conviction for rape. Ordinarily we will not examine a record under such circumstances. However, because the offense here involves a heavy sentence or a possible death penalty we have done so. We find that there is no reversible error and that the evidence supports the conviction.

Affirmed.
