Young v. United States

District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Decided March 15, 1994No. 90-CF-878, 92-CO-1262PublishedCited by 17 opinions

1Per curiam

Appellant, Delajandro Young, appeals his convictions 1 on the grounds that the trial judge erred in denying (1) his motion to exclude a coparticipant’s testimony because the plea agreement with the witness was contingent on the government’s satisfaction with the witness’ testimony, and (2) his motion, pursuant to Super.Ct.Crim.R. 33 and D.C.Code § 23-110 (Repl.1989), for a new trial. We conclude that these contentions are meritless. However, we remand the case to the trial court to vacate appellant’s convictions for either felony murder or robbery and second-degree murder.
