Billings, Montana - A man, after spending two years in prison for bank robbery, filed an appeal for wrongful imprisonment. He claimed innocence even though his partner in crime clearly identified him. He had a unique defense which proved fatal to his cause. Transcripts of the appeal revealed a clever, if unconvincing argument. He thought that the tellers could not have possibly identified him correctly. Among his more unforgettable quotes was ...
"How could the people in the bank have identified me? I had a mask on when I did the job."
His appeal was denied.
