District of Columbia Court of Appeals October 12, 2000, 00-CO-52 (Childs v. United States)

PER CURIAM.

Appellant Jamal Childs challenges the trial court’s denial of his motion to dismiss a felony murder charge on double jeopardy grounds. He contends that since he was convicted of the lesser included offense of armed robbery in his first trial, the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Constitution of the United States precludes his retrial on the charge of felony murder.
