United States v. Anderson, No. 12-10979 (5th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of aiding and abetting bank robbery. On appeal, defendant challenged his conviction, sentence, and various rulings by the district court. The court concluded that the district court did not err by denying defendant's motion to suppress his interrogation video where his confession was knowing and voluntary; the court rejected defendant's allegation that an off-the-record conversation occurred "in open court" between the government and the district court where the government stated that it would indict Teddy Rogers, who the government did not charge with aiding and abetting bank robbery, if he testified for the defense where there was no causal nexus between the alleged government action and Roger's decision to not testify; the court addressed defendant's evidentiary challenges and rejected them on the merits; the prosecutor's improper comment does not necessitate reversal of defendant's conviction; and the cumulative error doctrine was inapplicable in this case. The court rejected defendant's remaining claims and affirmed the judgment of the district court.
