United States Tenth Circuit
U.S. v. Thompson, 07-5103
A conviction for armed bank robbery and related offenses is affirmed where: 1) there was no violation of the Speedy Trial Act since there was no grand jury in session when time to file the indictment would have otherwise expired; 2) the owner of the house where defendant was residing had authority to consent to a voluntary search of the premises, and evidence obtained in the search was valid; 3) an in-court identification procedure was not unconstitutionally suggestive when the defendant was ordered to wear sunglasses and a black hood in front of the jury.
