Johnson v. United States

District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Decided July 17, 1969No. 4719Published

1ConcurrenceKelly, Associate Judge

(concurring) :

In my judgment a person who is found in possession of narcotics paraphernalia cannot be convicted of possession of implements of crime. I concur in this opinion, however, because I feel bound by prior decisions of this court. See, e. g., Keith v. United States, D.C.App., 232 A.2d 92 (1967); Davis v. United States, D.C.App., 230 A.2d 485 (1967); Edelin v. United States, D.C.App., 227 A.2d 395 (1967).
