Jeffcoat v. United States
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided September 28, 1988No. 86-795PublishedCited by 11 opinions
1Per curiam
Appellant was found guilty after a bench trial of the offense of taking property without right in violation of D.C.Code § 22-3816 (1988 Supp.). 1 The court imposed the maximum sentence — 90 days’ imprisonment. Appellant urges two grounds for reversal: 2 (1) the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to establish that the check had “value,” and (2) an inconsistency between the date of the offense, as set forth in the information, and the date mentioned in the trial testimony subjects him to double jeopardy. Finding no merit in either contention, we affirm.
