New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. . Augustus Loomis

May 3, 1904178 N.Y. 400

Summary

The Court reversed the convictions and ordered a new trial because the admission of the defendant's confession to an uncharged burglary (the Lewis burglary) was inadmissible, as it was not connected to the crimes charged and did not fall within any recognized exception.
