New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Larry Ribowsky
February 14, 199177 N.Y.2d 284
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the defendant's convictions for perjury, conspiracy, and false instrument offenses. It held that the perjury counts were not duplicitous, the use of a special verdict sheet did not prejudice the defendant, and the failure to submit the venue question to the jury was harmless error. The court also concluded that the perjury testimony constituted an overt act supporting the conspiracy venue.
