New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Roy Slaughter

October 23, 197537 N.Y.2d 596

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the search warrant was supported by probable cause because the informant was deemed reliable and the affidavit contained sufficient corroboration, and that the trial judge did not abuse discretion in denying a new‑trial motion based on allegedly newly discovered evidence.
