Pietro Balbo, Plaintiff in Error v. the People of the State of New York, Defendant in Error

April 6, 188080 N.Y. 484

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the murder conviction, holding that the trial judge properly overruled the juror's challenge under the 1872 and 1873 statutes and that the defendant's confession, though made after an illegal arrest, was admissible because it was voluntary.
