July 15, 197435 N.Y.2d 171

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the reinstatement of indictments against the defendants, holding that the Grand Jury evidence was legally sufficient despite alleged gaps in the chain of custody. The Court found that inconsistencies in evidence wrapper markings and the lack of testimony about locker security affect only the weight, not the admissibility, of the evidence.
