New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Benjamin Gonzalez
February 9, 198255 N.Y.2d 887
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the defendant's arrest was supported by probable cause and that the officers' failure to inform him of their purpose and authority under CPL 140.15 did not require suppression of the evidence; the Court also noted it would not address the retroactive effect of Payton v. New York because the issue was not preserved.
