New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. . Guisseppe Guidici

November 24, 1885100 N.Y. 503

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the murder conviction, holding that the deposition of the victim’s widow was properly admitted because the defendant waived objection, and that the jury charge defining reasonable doubt was not erroneous. The Court also ruled that a general exception to a charge is ineffective if any portion of the charge is properly stated.
