Description
After a jury trial in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, appellant Toney was convicted of bank robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. ร§ 2113(a), and was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment. We reverse (1) because of an erroneous ruling by the trial court which prevented Toney from presenting evidence critical to his defense; and (2) because of the prosecutors closing argument which, although obviously calculated to exploit the error, rendered it fatal instead.
