Bonner v. Warden

How later courts describe this case

• plane seen in the British West Indies prior to being spotted in the United States
• Customs search of aircraft at small airport after border crossing upheld
• where the Government’s rebuttal statement that either side could have called a witness is a response to defense counsel’s comments on the Government’s failure to call the witness, the statement is permissible provided the jury is properly instructed as to the burden of proof
