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.
