The People of the State of New York v. Gregory Coleman, Appellant the People of the State of New York v. David Harvey

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for a new trial, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the sodomy convictions, that the defendants' pre‑trial statements should have been suppressed because they were obtained after counsel was present, and that the trial court must ensure informed consent if the defendants are again jointly represented.
