New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Mark Ingram

March 24, 198871 N.Y.2d 474

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the defendant's robbery conviction, holding that evidence of a later, similar robbery was admissible under the intent/state‑of‑mind exception to the Molineux rule. The Court reasoned that the repetition of conduct, regardless of sequence, negated the defendant's claim of innocence.
