The People of the State of New York v. Jose Ramos, Also Known as Alfredo Ortiz

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower courts' rulings, holding that the in‑court identifications by witnesses Carmen Jiminez and Norma Jiminez were based on independent recollection and not tainted by prior suggestive procedures, and that the trial judge did not improperly marshal the evidence. The Court relied on prior New York precedent to support these conclusions.
