People v. Sinclair
Michigan Court of Appeals
Decided February 3, 1970No. Docket 2,997PublishedCited by 6 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtLesinski, C. J.
Defendant Ethen Sinclair was found guilty, following trial by jury, of armed robbery, MCLA § 750.529 (Stat Ann 1969 Cum Supp § 28.797). Defendant’s motions for new trial were denied and this appeal was brought as of right.
Although several issues are raised on appeal, only one merits attention. Following his conviction, defendant moved for a new trial based solely on the grounds of newly-discovered evidence. On November 14, 1967, an inmate at Jackson prison, Ira Todd, signed an affidavit stating that he and not defendant Sinclair committed the crime here in question.
