Indiana Decisions - 7th Circuit posts one
USA v. Allen, Anthony D. (ND Ind., William C. Lee, Judge)
Before WOOD, EVANS, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge. A jury convicted defendant
Anthony Allen of burglarizing the Standard Federal Bank
in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) and 18 U.S.C. § 2. Allen
challenges his conviction, arguing that: (1) the government
did not present sufficient evidence to support his conviction,
(2) the government’s use of an expert shoe-print witness at
trial was improper, (3) the admission at trial of a photograph
of him taken shortly after his arrest was prejudicial,
(4) his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance, and (5)
the district court’s aiding and abetting jury instruction was
flawed. We find all of Allen’s arguments unpersuasive and
for the reasons stated below, we affirm.
