New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Jeffrey H. Rumble
October 24, 197845 N.Y.2d 879
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the defendant's statement "I'm not responsible for what I did" is a relevant admission of guilt that distinguishes the case from purely circumstantial evidence, and that, together with the circumstantial evidence, it satisfies the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
