Clifford E. Green v. United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
Clifford E. Green v. United States, 397 F.2d 643 (D.C. Cir. 1968)
130 U.S. App. D.C. 82; 1968 U.S. App. LEXIS 7151

Clifford E. Green v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Green was convicted of robbery, 22 D.C.Code § 2901 (1967), and assault *644 with intent to commit robbery, 22 D.C. Code § 501 (1967). The principal questions raised on this appeal relate to alleged trial court error in permitting the prosecutor to impeach the defendant with cross-examination respecting a prior conviction of assault and in permitting the prosecutor to impeach a defense witness with cross-examination respecting her chastity. While these issues would require serious consideration 1 if properly raised in the trial court, in the circumstances of this case we will not notice them for the first time on appeal.

Affirmed.
