McKenzie v. United States

District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Decided June 12, 1995No. 93-CF-1340 & 94-CO-1250PublishedCited by 13 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

STEADMAN, Associate Judge:

Appellant McKenzie was convicted of armed robbery and related offenses at a bench trial at which a coparticipant in the charged events, Ronald C. Jenkins, was a principal government witness. 1 On appeal, McKenzie argues: 1) the trial court made an inadequate inquiry into his pretrial complaint about his appointed counsel, and 2) in its determination of Jenkins’s credibility, the trial court improperly took into account a statement made by Jenkins at the time of his arrest, which was referred to at trial but not introduced into evidence in full text. We affirm.
