Bank robber acquittal hinges on lack of corroboration
In a Cuyahoga County case, the judge acquitted Calhoun of robbery due to no corroboration beyond notes from Michael Johnson about Calhoun’s statements in jail. Teller Michelle Rider could not positively identify him in court, and no physical evidence linked him to the crime. The verdict followed defense objection to convicting on statements from a non-present witness. The judge stressed lack of proof and noted the decision does not declare innocence. Page A-4.
