Description
Appellant Smith, alias Corie, was convicted by a jury of robbing a Los Angeles branch of the Bank of America on December 4, 1947, by the use of a dangerous weapon. The bank was a member of the Federal Reserve System. Appellant Montez was convicted by the same jury of aiding and abetting him. Both men were charged with a violation of 12 U.S.C.A. ? 588b [now 18 U.S.C.A. ? 2113], subsections (a) and (b). Subsection (a) pertains to the robbery of a Federal Reserve Bank by force and violence and the pertinent portion provides a maximum penalty of a fine of 1,000 or twenty years imprisonment, or both. Subsection (b) increases the maximum penalty to $10,000 and/or twenty-five years when an assault by the use of a dangerous weapon is committed in the course of such robbery. Smith, because of his prior criminal record received the maximum of twenty-five years while Montez received a twenty year sentence.
