Tuchman v. District of Columbia

Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit

Decided February 24, 1977No. 11006Published

1Opinion of the Court

YEAGLEY, Associate Judge:

Appellant was convicted after a nonjury trial of two traffic offenses, (1) leaving after colliding and causing personal injuries (Traffic and Motor Vehicle Regulations, Part I, § 17) and (2) driving without glasses in violation of his permit restrictions (appellant is not appealing the latter conviction). He alleges on appeal that because there was insufficient evidence of personal injuries to the complaining witness (Mr. Leo Jones), he cannot be convicted of the leaving after colliding charge. We disagree that there was insufficient evidence and affirm the conviction.
