New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Matthew Salko

June 7, 197947 N.Y.2d 230

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the conviction, holding that the trial court properly admitted co‑conspirator statements under the co‑conspirator hearsay exception because the People had established a prima facie case of conspiracy, and that the admission did not violate the defendant's Sixth Amendment confrontation rights.
