Description

Defendants appeal their respective judgments of convictions on two counts for robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1153 and 2111 and S.D.C.L. § 22-18-11. They raise several points of alleged error. The basic complaint raised is whether there exists substantial evidence sufficient to sustain the conviction of aiding and abetting the crimes involved. The defendants have also challenged the convictions on other grounds which we have considered and dismiss as not having substantial merit. These include: (a) the courts failure to instruct that mere presence at the scene of the crime is not sufficient grounds to convict the defendants of aiding and abetting, (b) the courts failure to declare a mistrial when during the course of the trial one of the jurors informed the judge that she was acquainted with the victim of the assault, (c) that the indictment was insufficient in that one of the counts failed to allege that one of the defendants was guilty of aiding and abetting, (d) that the trial court erred in ruling as a matter of law that the defendants were Indians and that the crimes took place in Indian country, (e) that the original exhibits were lost and that inaccurate substitutes were used as replacements and (f) that one of the defendants admissions (LeRoy Wayne Thomas) was prejudicial to the other defendant and was erroneously admitted without corroborative evidence.
