United States v. Davis, No. 09-4890 (4th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this Case
A jury convicted Defendant Earl Whittley Davis of various federal offenses arising from a course of conduct that included the armed robbery and murder during that robbery of an armored car employee, Jason Schwindler, as well as a subsequent carjacking. On appeal, Defendant challenged the use of DNA evidence against him at trial, and also argued that the district court erred in excluding expert testimony proffered by Defendant in an attempt to undermine an eyewitness identification of him. Upon review of the matter, the Fourth Circuit found no error and affirmed the judgment of the district court.
