MEYERS V. UNITED STATES
171 F.2d 800 (D.C. Cir. 1948)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Meyers (D)appealed a judgment upholding a jury conviction of
suborning perjury, in violation of Title 22, 2501, D.C. Code (1940).
FACTS: Meyers (D) was on trial for perjury. The government (P) had a witness testify and
summarize statements made by D's codefendant. D objected to this testimony, claiming that
instead, a transcript of the codefendant's actual testimony should be used under the best
evidence rule. The judge overruled D's objection. P's witness testified as to the
codefendant's statements. The testimony resembled the summations of the indictment. D was
convicted of suborning the codefendant's perjury. D appealed.
