The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Vasil Lesiuk, Appellant

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the proper "reasonable probability" standard was correctly applied to the unavailable informant, that the eight‑month investigative delay did not violate due process, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in discharging a juror. The dissent argued the informant's testimony warranted a new trial.
