Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit April 14, 1972, 72-1036 (United States v. Charles A. Jones)

PER CURIAM:

Jones was convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. § 472 (passing and possessing counterfeit Federal Reserve Notes). He appeals, contending that the prosecutor in final argument alluded to his failure to take the stand, and that the court’s curative instructions were inadequate.

The prosecutor asked an ambiguous rhetorical question about the defendant’s ability to speak.
