Description
BEFORE: ADAMS, GARTH, and BECKER, Circuit Judges Opinion OF THE COURT GARTH, Circuit Judge: Emmanuel Joseph was convicted on both counts of a two count information charging him with rape in the first degree in violation of V.I. Code Ann. tit. 14 § 1701(1)-(2)1 He now appeals, arguing: (1) that Count I of the information lacked the specificity necessary to enable Joseph to prepare an adequate alibi defense because it failed to aver the date on which the alleged crime occurred: (2) that there was insufficient evidence to sustain Joseph's conviction on Count I; and (3) that comments made during the government's closing argument occasioned prejudice to Joseph sufficient to require reversal of the jury's verdict.
