The People of the State of New York v. Artemio Rodriguez Rodriguez and Rafael Negron Carde

Summary

The Court reversed the murder convictions of Rodriguez and Carde and ordered new trials because Carde's post‑arraignment confession was obtained without counsel and in violation of his privilege against self‑incrimination; the Court also held that the superseding indictment was valid without a prior court order. Two concurring judges agreed with the reversal but disagreed with the majority's suggestion of a new rule on the admissibility of confessions induced by illegally seized evidence.
