UNITED STATES V. JACKSON
405 F. Supp. 938 (E.D.N.Y. 1975)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Jackson (D) at trial for armed robbery of a bank filed pretrial
motions to exclude a recent state felony conviction for assault and his use of a false name
when arrested shortly after the robbery.
FACTS: A bank was robbed and both video and eyewitness accounts were not able to identify
the bank robber. D was arrested in Georgia some months later. D had been stopped from a
traffic check in an area where an armed robbery has just taken place. D was acting
suspiciously and had false identification but no license. D and was arrested for driving
without a license. Several guns were found in the car. D then escaped from but was
eventually charged with the bank robbery in New York. P sought to use the evidence that D
was in Georgia and used a fake name. P also wanted to introduce the fact that D had been
indicted for assault in New York a month prior to the New York bank robbery. D filed a
pretrial motion to exclude the evidence of a false name and the prior assault charge.
