New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Yusef Salaam, Appellant
December 16, 199383 N.Y.2d 51
Summary
The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the juvenile's statements were admissible because the police did not employ deception or trickery to isolate him and compliance with CPL 140.20(6) does not require suppression. A dissent argued the isolation itself warranted suppression.
