Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Double Jeopardy
Dist. Ct. erred in dismissing on double jeopardy grounds indictment alleging under paragraph 2 of 18 USC section 2113(a) offense of attempted bank robbery where defendant had previously been acquitted of attempted bank robbery under paragraph 1 of section 2113(a) arising out of same incident. Ct. rejected defendant's contention that paragraphs1 and 2 of section 2113(a) created only single offense and found that said paragraphs created different offenses under standard set forth in Blockburger, 284 US 299.
