BATES v. UNITED STATES

No. 13596.

403 A.2d 1159 (1979)

Jerome F. BATES, a/k/a Vernon Bates, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided July 10, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert Haas, Hyattsville, Md., appointed by this court, for appellant.

F. Joseph Warin, Asst. U.S. Atty., Washington, D.C., with whom Earl J. Silbert, U.S. Atty., Washington, D.C., at the time the brief was filed, and John A. Terry, Michael W. Farrell, and Richard H. Saltsman, Asst. U.S. Attys., Washington, D.C., were on the brief, for appellee.

Before HARRIS, MACK, and FERREN, Associate Judges.

FERREN, Associate Judge:

A jury convicted appellant Bates of robbery, D.C.Code 1973, § 22-2901. He now argues that (1) the trial court erred in permitting the government to impeach him under D.C.Code 1973, § 14-305(b)(1)(B) with a prior conviction of unlawful entry, and that (2) the prosecutor, in his closing argument to the jury, improperly implied that defense counsel did not believe his own client's testimony. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
