New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Vincent Friola

April 5, 196211 N.Y.2d 157

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction because the defendant failed to preserve a Fourth Amendment issue by not objecting to the admission of the evidence, and therefore no question of law was before the court. The dissent argued that the majority improperly limited the application of Mapp v. Ohio, while a concurrence agreed with the majority’s affirmation.
