People v. Johnson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 15, 1979
72 A.D.2d 570 (N.Y. App. Div. 1979)

Opinion

October 15, 1979


Appeals by defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Westchester County, both rendered August 23, 1977, convicting her of arson in the second degree and grand larceny in the second degree, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentences. Judgments reversed, on the law, and new trial ordered. The facts have been considered and are determined to have been established. The record indicates that the defendant was denied her constitutional right to summation and, under the circumstances of this case, is entitled to a new trial (see Herring v New York, 422 U.S. 853). Mollen, P.J., Hopkins, Titone and Mangano, JJ., concur.
