The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Gwendolyn Chase, Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction but remanded the case to the Supreme Court to determine whether the defendant's arrest was supported by probable cause and whether her subsequent statements were sufficiently attenuated from any illegal detention. It held that evidence of a prior uncharged crime was admissible. The Court noted that a spontaneous statement made in the police car required CPL 710.30(1)(a) notice, but left that issue for further determination.
