New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Charles L. Brown, Appellant-Respondent

July 1, 198667 N.Y.2d 555

Summary

The Court of Appeals held that the People’s failure to produce photo arrays did not require reversal or a new trial, that the expert medical testimony was admissible, and that the convictions for both robbery in the first degree and criminal use of a firearm were an abuse of discretion, affirming the Appellate Division’s reversal of the firearm counts. The Court affirmed the order of the Appellate Division.
