Charlie Bob Wesley v. United States

Good Law
384 F.2d 100·1967 U.S. App. LEXIS 4862
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth CircuitOctober 16, 196721178_1California84 words

Opinion

There was ample evidence to support appellant’s conviction of forgery. His opportunity rendered him a natural object of suspicion. His identification as the forger by the Government’s handwriting expert was convincing, and he offered no rebuttal expert testimony.

There is no support whatsoever for appellant’s contention that the trial judge demonstrated bias.

Appellant’s constitutional rights were not violated when handwriting exemplars were secured from him. Gilbert v. State of California, 388 U.S. 263, 266-267 , 87 S.Ct. 1951 , 18 L.Ed.2d 1178 (1967).

Affirmed.
