People v. Witherspoon

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Sep 18, 1986
68 N.Y.2d 805 (N.Y. 1986)

Opinion

Argued September 8, 1986

Decided September 18, 1986


Appeal dismissed upon the ground that the reversal by the Appellate Division was not "on the law alone or upon the law and such facts which, but for the determination of law, would not have led to reversal" (CPL 450.90 [a]). The reversal, while termed one "on the law", was necessarily a determination by the Appellate Division of a mixed question of law and fact.
