UNITED STATES V. JONES
580 F.2d 219 (6th Cir. 1978)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a government appeal over an acquittal. United States (P)
appealed from a judgment of acquittal after a jury convicted Jones (D) of telephone
wire-tapping in violation of 18 U.S.C.S. 2511 et seq. (1976).
FACTS: D was convicted of illegally intercepting telephone conversations of his estranged
wife. The district judge then granted D's motion for an acquittal as the government failed
to prove that South Central Bell Telephone Company was a common carrier a requirement for
guilt under the federal statute that D was tried under. The government appealed the ruling
and urged that judicial notice be taken. The government had not requested such judicial
notice during the trial but relied upon Rule 201(f) that judicial notice may be taken at any
stage of the proceeding.
