New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. George Hetrick

November 18, 199280 N.Y.2d 344

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the denial of the defendant's motion to suppress, holding that a nine‑year‑old child's out‑of‑court statements satisfied the Aguilar‑Spinelli test for probable cause and that CPL 60.20 does not require a magistrate to examine a child witness before issuing a search warrant.
