New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Kenneth Inniss, Appellant

May 10, 199483 N.Y.2d 653

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the murder conviction, holding that the trial court correctly excluded the victim's testimony and the cooperation agreement as collateral impeachment evidence and that the jury instruction on witness bias was adequate; a dissent argued the trial court erred by refusing Brady and Rosario disclosures and an interested‑witness charge.
