New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Veronica Prescott
November 19, 198566 N.Y.2d 216
Summary
The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the defendant’s guilty plea forfeited her statutory double‑jeopardy claim under CPL 40.20 and that the constitutional double‑jeopardy claim fails because robbery and criminal possession of stolen property are distinct offenses under the Blockburger test.
