People v. Collins

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Oct 11, 1973
304 N.E.2d 367 (N.Y. 1973)

Opinion

Submitted September 10, 1973

Decided October 11, 1973


Motion to amend remittitur granted. Return of remittitur requested and when returned, it will be amended by adding thereto the following: "Upon the appeal herein, there was presented and necessarily passed upon questions under the Constitution of the United States, viz: Whether the rights of defendant under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments were denied. Defendant contended that an allegedly improper pre-trial confrontation in the absence of counsel tainted the in-court identifications of two eyewitnesses. He also contended that a purposeful pre-indictment delay of seven months violated his right to a speedy trial. The Court of Appeals considered these contentions and held there was an independent basis for the in-court identifications and it was unnecessary to determine, in the first instance, whether the pre-trial confrontation was improper. The court also held that no purposeful delay was shown."
