The People of the State of New York v. Alfonso Huertas, Also Known as Alphonso Huertas

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction, holding that the victim’s testimony about the description she gave to police was admissible for a non‑hearsay purpose of assessing her ability to observe and remember the assailant. The Court also found that the trial court’s other rulings, including the interested‑witness charge, did not constitute reversible error.
