The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Steven Arthur Truesdell, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the defendant's accessory to robbery conviction and the resulting felony murder convictions, and that the consecutive sentences of 18 years to life were not illegal. The court based its decision on the defendant's statements, co‑worker testimony about money, and a friend's testimony linking the defendant to the robbery.
