United States v. Martin Linen Supply Co.

How later courts describe this case

• "One offense is a lesser included offense of another only if, in order to commit the greater offense, it is necessary to commit the lesser.”
• public closure at post-trial sentencing hearing not appealable under Cohen since defendant has no constitutional right to compel a secret trial
• bank officer’s acquittal of willful misapplication of funds did not bar prosecution for violation of campaign contribution statute involving same funds where the two crimes were distinct and separate offenses
