United States v. Ernest Gail Lail
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided June 10, 1988No. 87-3070PublishedCited by 28 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:
The only issue on this appeal is whether the trial court properly admitted evidence of an extrinsic crime under Fed.R.Evid. 404(b). 1 Because we find that the extrinsic crime evidence was not properly admitted, we reverse the judgment of the district court and remand for a new trial.
Appellant Lail was charged with two bank robberies. The first occurred at the Liberty National Bank in Altamonte Springs, Florida on November 18, 1985. The second occurred at the First Federal Savings and Loan of Winter Haven in Orlando, Florida on November 27, 1985.
