New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Abdolhosein Baghai-Kermani, Appellant

December 6, 199484 N.Y.2d 525

Summary

The Court held that a violation of the Rosario disclosure rule requires reversal only of the convictions for which the undisclosed witness testimony was material, not of all jointly tried counts, and affirmed the Appellate Division’s order reinstating the eight unaffected convictions. The Court also declined to entertain the defendant's ineffective‑assistance claim.
