New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Charles Patterson, Appellant
November 21, 199178 N.Y.2d 711
Summary
The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that a violation of CPL 160.50 does not require suppression of in‑court identification testimony and that the evidence was sufficient to sustain the second‑degree robbery conviction. Justice Titone dissented, arguing that the statutory right is substantial and that suppression is required.
