Heading: Hilton's Defense

Text: The government prosecuted Hilton on the theory of aiding and abetting as the getaway driver, D.C.Code § 22-105 (1981) (recodified at D.C.Code § 22-1805 (2001)), [3] based on evidence that Hilton was driving the black Isuzu Rodeo truck with Lyons and was involved in a high-speed chase with police about an hour and fifteen minutes after the robbery, and that a gun and a twenty dollar bill were recovered from Hilton's truck. Hilton did not offer any witnesses, but presented three exhibits that he claimed called into question that he was the driver of the getaway car: a portion of the PD 251 report that described the getaway vehicle; Shives's grand jury testimony describing the vehicle as having chrome and two doors, whereas the Isuzu Rodeo he was driving had four doors and did not have chrome; and a stipulation that the high-speed chase began shortly after 8:30 p.m.
