Earnest L. STITH, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided August 7, 1969.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stephen S. Millstein, Washington, D. C., for appellant.

Robert P. Watkins, Asst. U. S. Atty., with whom David G. Bress, U. S. Atty., and Frank Q. Nebeker and Terry P. Segal, Asst. U. S. Attys., were on the brief, for appellee.

Before HOOD, Chief Judge, and FICKLING and KERN, Associate Judges.


PER CURIAM:

Appellant was convicted of petit larceny after a trial by jury and sentenced to imprisonment for one year. He seeks reversal on the grounds that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction, the trial court erred in its instruction to the jury as to what constituted the crime of larceny, and the prosecutor improperly used a prior conviction for impeachment purposes. Only the last contention merits comment.
