032742P.pdf   05/10/2004  United States  v.  Richard L. Davis
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-2742
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Criminal case - criminal law. District court erred in granting defendant 
   a new trial based on its conclusion that the government had improperly 
   shifted the burden of proof; government's question to defendant as to 
   why he had not worn to trial the pants he claimed to have worn on the 
   night of his arrest was not an improper comment on a Fifth Amendment 
   right and could not serve as the basis for granting a new trial.
