People v. Wood

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Mar 30, 1995
213 A.D.2d 945 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

March 30, 1995

Appeal from the County Court of Clinton County (McGill, J.).


Initially, our review of the Grand Jury minutes reveals that they are sufficient to sustain the indictment against defendant. Moreover, contrary to defendant's claim that she was mentally incompetent to enter a plea, the record discloses that defendant fully understood the nature of the proceedings and that, consequently, her plea was knowing, intelligent and voluntary. Hence, there was no reason for County Court to order a competency hearing. We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.

Mercure, J.P., Crew III, Yesawich Jr., Peters and Spain, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
