New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Le Roy J. Miller, Appellant

July 15, 1931257 N.Y. 54

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the trial judge's refusals to allow inspection of grand‑jury minutes and of letters marked for identification were reversible errors but harmless, that the exclusion of the public from the courtroom did not require reversal, and that the jury instruction presuming suicide, though disapproved, did not affect the verdict.
