New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Angel Gonzalez
December 22, 197538 N.Y.2d 208
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the trial court preserved the defendant's right to a fair trial despite a hostile courtroom atmosphere and alleged judicial bias. The Court found that the defense counsel's disruptive conduct barred a claim of unfairness absent other circumstances, and that the alleged errors were either without merit or not properly preserved.
