People v. Wasserbach

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 30, 1946
271 App. Div. 756 (N.Y. App. Div. 1946)

Opinion

September 30, 1946.

Appeal from County Court, Kings County.


The instant indictment followed the dismissal of a prior indictment for rape in the first degree, which was dismissed because of the absence of the supporting proof required by section 2013 of the Penal Law. The testimony of the complaining witness before the Grand Jury on both occasions indicated that the rape had been consummated, but was uncorroborated. Order reversed on the law, the motion denied, and the indictment reinstated. In our opinion, the evidence adduced before the Grand Jury is sufficient to sustain the indictment. ( People v. Chimino, 270 App. Div. 114, affd. 296 N.Y. 554; People v. Tavormina, 257 N.Y. 84; Penal Law, § 260.) Lewis, P.J., Johnston, Adel, Aldrich and Nolan, JJ., concur. [ 185 Misc. 67.]
