Williams v. United States , 1990 D.C. App. LEXIS 144 ( 1990 )

NEWMAN, Associate Judge,

concurring:

I have long held the view that trial judges should make findings of fact and conclusions of law On most, if not all, of the contested evidentiary hearings they hold. Thus, I join wholeheartedly in the rule we announce today requiring specific findings of fact and conclusions of law in criminal contempt cases. I agree that under this new rule the trial court’s findings were inadequate to support appellant’s contempt conviction.
