Bernard E. Williams v. United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
Bernard E. Williams v. United States, 317 F.2d 545 (D.C. Cir. 1963)
115 U.S. App. D.C. 134; 1963 U.S. App. LEXIS 5751

Bernard E. Williams v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellant seeks review of conviction on one count of rape and one of rape and robbery which were joined in one indictment and tried together after denial of motion for severance. The two offenses occurred within a period of 12 days and at precisely the same place and under similar circumstances. Verdicts of guilty were returned but the death sentence was not fixed by the jury. Sentences of one to three years on the robbery count, and 10 to 30 years on each of the rape counts were imposed, to run concurrently.

Court appointed counsel has diligently briefed and ably argued this case but *546 our examination of the record and authorities in light of his contentions discloses no error which would warrant disturbing the judgment.

Affirmed.
