New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. William Jenkins, Appellant

June 26, 198050 N.Y.2d 981

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division’s order. It held that joining two robbery charges in a single indictment was permissible because the offenses were the same or similar in law, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the defendant’s motion to sever.
