New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York Ex Rel. William Lupo, Appellant v. Edward M. Fay, as Warden of Green Haven…
December 30, 196313 N.Y.2d 253
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the denial of habeas corpus relief, holding that the defendant's absence from the courtroom while his counsel argued to discharge the jury did not substantially affect his right to defend and therefore did not invalidate the conviction.
