McFARLAND v. U.S.

No. 01-CF-86.

821 A.2d 348 (2003)

Gregory McFARLAND, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided April 17, 2003.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jennifer Lanoff, Public Defender Service, with whom James Klein and Jaclyn Frankfurt, Public Defender Service, were on the brief, for appellant.

Gilberto Guerrero, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, with whom Roscoe C. Howard, Jr., United States Attorney, and John R. Fisher and Elizabeth Trosman, Assistant United States Attorneys, were on the brief, for appellee.

Before STEADMAN, FARRELL, and WASHINGTON, Associate Judges.


FARRELL, Associate Judge:

A jury found appellant guilty of one count each of distributing cocaine and carrying a dangerous weapon (a knife). On appeal the sole issue presented is whether the trial judge abused his discretion in admitting into evidence the fact that the police found $774 on appellant's person— $700 in one pocket, $74 in another—at the time of his arrest for selling two ziplock bags of cocaine. We affirm.
