New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Alonzo Fagan
November 14, 198566 N.Y.2d 815
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that a dismissal of charges at the end of a final parole revocation hearing does not preclude a later criminal prosecution based on the same conduct, because collateral estoppel is not automatically applied in criminal cases.
