People v. Colombo

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Oct 30, 1969
25 N.Y.2d 641 (N.Y. 1969)

Summary

In People v Colombo (25 N.Y.2d 641), a case very close on its facts to the one here, the indictment was dismissed on the ground of double jeopardy, but reinstated by the Appellate Division (32 A.D.2d 812), whose decision, in turn, was upheld by our court (25 N.Y.2d 641). Upon certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, it vacated and remanded "for further consideration in light of Waller v Florida, 397 U.S. 387" (400 U.S. 16).
