 98-7048 -- U.S. v. McIntosh -- 02/03/1999
McIntosh was convicted by a jury of two counts of bank robbery, one count of possession of a firearm moved interstate after a felony conviction, two counts of use of firearm during commission of crime, and one count of conspiracy.
McIntosh contends counsel was ineffective at trial because he acted as a courtroom spectator, permitted the court to tell the jury that other courts would correct any mistakes they made, and accepted the government's version of the facts.
McIntosh contends no evidence exists that he used the gun during the robbery itself and, therefore, he could not be convicted of use of a firearm during the robbery.
