Joseph William Morgan, A/K/A Lester Carter, A/K/A Edward James Johnson v. United States, 405 F.2d 497

PER CURIAM:

We conclude that there was ample evidence to ‍‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍corroborate the inculpatory statement made by the accused in this Dyer Act conviction to warrant submission ‍‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍of the case to the jury. Concededly, the Miranda warning was given. We cannot, at this appellate ‍‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍level, consider the appellant’s contention that there should have been an affirmative determination that the accused fully ‍‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍understood the warning before the statement could be used against him. The law does not place ‍‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍any such burden on the government.

The judgment is affirmed.
