United States v. Mack Adams
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Decided October 30, 1967No. 104, Docket 31355PublishedCited by 62 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
FRIENDLY, Circuit Judge.
Mack Adams was convicted before Judge Bonsai and a jury in the District Court for the Southern District of New York for selling cocaine to a narcotics agent on June 16, 21, and 28, 1965, without a written order form in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 4705(a). Although the agents’ testimony abundantly supported the verdict despite the innocent version of his meetings to which Adams testified, we are constrained to reverse because of the judge’s allowing the jury to see incriminating writings by the agent making the purchase which had not been received in evidence.
