New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Joseph Nisonoff and Max J. Weinstein, Appellants

December 30, 1944293 N.Y. 597

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction and held that the autopsy findings, as a public record prepared by a qualified medical examiner, were admissible despite the witness's death, because the constitutional right to confrontation does not bar admission of official documents.
