Thelma L. Johnson v. United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
Thelma L. Johnson v. United States, 218 F.2d 862 (D.C. Cir. 1955)
95 U.S. App. D.C. 51; 46 A.F.T.R. (P-H) 1612; 1955 U.S. App. LEXIS 2854

Thelma L. Johnson v. United States

Opinion

*863 PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted of willfully using a false document, viz. a purported prescription for a narcotic drug, and of procuring this document to be falsely and fraudulently executed. 18 U.S.C. § 1001, 26 U.S.C. § 3793. The evidence was circumstantial. It might have left a jury in reasonable doubt. On the other hand, it might have convinced a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. This is sufficient. Some of the evidence was hearsay. But appellant’s trial counsel, who was not her present counsel, did not object to its admission, and its admission without objection does not require reversal. We find no error affecting substantial rights.

Affirmed.
