Description

FERREN, Associate Judge: This case presents issues of trial court error in (1) permitting police "mug shots" to be received
into evidence against appellants, and (2) refusing to sever their trials. We hold, on the authority of United States v. Barnes,
124 U.S.App.D.C. 318, 365 F.2d 509 (1966), that the admission of the photographs into evidence was reversible error. We further
hold that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the requested severance. I.
