George A. Bloodgood, Appellant v. Mary E. Lynch, Respondents

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and ordered a new trial, holding that the trial court erred by sustaining a specific objection based on Penal Law § 270‑b, which improperly excluded the State trooper's testimony that was admissible against one defendant. The court also noted, without deciding, that the refusal to order production of a photograph raised privilege issues that would be addressed on remand.
