United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Malcolm Wayne Hunter, Defendant-appellant, 466 F.2d 501 (5th Cir. 1972)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - 466 F.2d 501 (5th Cir. 1972) Sept. 6, 1972

Charles A. Sullivan, Vero Beach, Fla., Alton S. Beasley, Stuart, Fla. (Court appointed), for defendant-appellant.

Robert W. Rust, U.S. Atty., George A. Kokus, Asst. U.S. Atty., Miami, Fla., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before BELL, DYER and CLARK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


We have carefully considered appellant's contentions that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for attempted escape, 18 U.S.C.A. Sec. 751(a), that he was denied his constitutional right to a speedy trial, and that the trial court erred in excluding certain testimony and in denying a motion for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence. We find all these contentions to be without merit.

Affirmed.
