25 A.D.2d 812 (N.Y. App. Div. 1966)

Opinion

April 7, 1966

Appeal from the Onondaga County Court.

Present — Williams, P.J., Goldman, Henry, Del Vecchio and Marsh, JJ.


Case held, matter remanded to Onondaga County Court for further proceedings in accordance with the memorandum. Memorandum: This case comes to us after a so-called Huntley hearing ( People v. Huntley, 15 N.Y.2d 72). The Trial Judge found two statements made to Officer Colella at the time of the arrest to be voluntary. However, there was another oral admission made to Patrolman Gervais that was not passed upon by the Trial Justice, although it was received in evidence upon the trial. At a hearing of the Huntley type, all confessions and inculpatory admissions introduced as part of the People's case at the trial should be considered and voluntariness determined. ( People v. Harden, 17 N.Y.2d 470.) For this reason the matter should be remanded so that the Trial Judge may pass upon the question of the voluntariness of the admissions to Patrolman Gervais and so that the Trial Judge may determine whether all of the admissions made to Officers Colella and Gervais were proved to be voluntary beyond a reasonable doubt.
