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.
