New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Leonel Castillo
June 12, 197947 N.Y.2d 270
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's order and remanded for a new trial on the attempted burglary count. The Court held that the joinder of the dismissed August 27 counts with the August 29 count irreparably prejudiced the defendant's right to a fair trial, and that the evidence was sufficient to support a conviction for attempted burglary.
