New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Ann Mayo
June 19, 197536 N.Y.2d 1002
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the grand‑jury evidence—including the discrepancy in toll tickets and the defendant's conduct—was legally sufficient to support the indictment, and that a shortage of tickets permits an inference of theft. The court clarified that "legally sufficient" in a grand‑jury context means prima facie, not proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
