UNITED STATES V. HOOSIER
542 F.2d 687 (1976)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Hoosier (D) appealed from a criminal conviction for armed robbery of
a federally insured bank.
FACTS: One of the Government's witnesses in this case testified that, three weeks after
Hoosier (D) allegedly robbed the bank, he saw D with money, and wearing what appeared to be
diamond rings. The witness testified that, while in D's presence, D's girlfriend said, 'That
ain't nothing, you should have seen the money we had in the hotel room.' D said nothing in
response to the girlfriend's statement. The testimony was admitted at trial over D's
objection. D appealed. The government contends that the statement constitutes an admission.
