UNITED STATES V. HAMPTON 464 F.3d 687 (7th Cir. 2006) CASE BRIEF

UNITED STATES V. HAMPTON

464 F.3d 687 (7th Cir. 2006)

NATURE OF THE CASE: Hampton (D) appealed his conviction of robbing federally insured banks on the issue that the United States (P) did not prove that the banks were in fact federally insured.

FACTS: Hampton (D) was convicted of ten robberies of federally insured banks. At trial, photocopies that purport to be the certificates of insurance that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation were introduced into evidence, and an employee of each bank, typically a teller, testified that an identical photocopy hanging on the wall of his bank was a true copy of the bank's certificate. The copies placed in evidence bore dates of issuance of the copied certificate before the robberies. The bank employees who testified about their banks' insured status testified that the banks were currently insured, and the jury was entitled to believe their testimony. D was convicted and appealed contending that the evidence to prove insured status was inadmissible.
