The People of the State of New York v. Anthony Gordon

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, vacated the convictions, and remanded because the station‑house showup identification was irredeemably suggestive and must be suppressed; it held that any future in‑court identification must be subject to a Wade hearing; and it found the evidence of possession on December 7 sufficient under the standard of review. Justice Titone dissented in part, arguing that the constructive‑possession counts should be dismissed.
