New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Jeffrey Collins, Appellant
November 11, 199382 N.Y.2d 177
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the People were not ready for trial within the statutory six‑month period. Both the six‑day prereadiness delay for transfer to an IAS Part and the fourteen‑day postreadiness delay are chargeable to the People, violating the statutory speedy‑trial right.
