New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Gregory Correa
April 4, 199177 N.Y.2d 930
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that delays between indictment and arraignment are not excludable under CPL 30.30 and that CPL 30.30(4)(f) exempts periods when the defendant lacks counsel. The court rejected the People’s arguments that such delays or the defendant’s lack of counsel barred the prosecution from announcing readiness for trial.
