Johnnie Coleman v. United States

District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Decided March 7, 2019No. 16-CM-345PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Beckwith, Associate Judge:

Soon after appellant Johnnie Coleman asserted his right to a jury trial, the government filed an amended information reducing the charge against him from stalking 1 to attempted stalking. 2 The case was transferred to a misdemeanor calendar, and Mr. Coleman was convicted of attempted stalking after a bench trial. On appeal, Mr. Coleman argues that he was denied his right to a jury trial and that his conviction was not supported by constitutionally sufficient evidence.

One of the elements of stalking is that the defendant "purposefully engage in a course of conduct"…
