New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Carl Robert Bergerson

June 9, 196617 N.Y.2d 398

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction, holding that the indictment was valid, the evidence of the victim's death was relevant, and section 483 of the Penal Law is not unconstitutionally vague. The court found the statute gave adequate notice of the prohibited conduct and upheld the lower court's judgment.
