People v. Bonhomme

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Mar 3, 1992
181 A.D.2d 408 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

March 3, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Ira F. Beal, J.).


In their brief, the People conceded that there was no adequate showing of a need to close the courtroom but contended that the record did not show that the courtroom had actually been closed. Accordingly, we held the appeal in abeyance and remanded for such a determination. ( 166 A.D.2d 270.) It has now been determined by the trial court that the courtroom was actually closed during a portion of the trial, specifically the testimony of a confidential informant. Accordingly, we reverse. (People v Jones, 47 N.Y.2d 409, cert denied 444 U.S. 946.)

Concur — Kupferman, J.P., Sullivan, Carro and Smith, JJ.
