New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Keith Hightower, Appellant

June 7, 199585 N.Y.2d 988

Summary

The Court held that the defendant's motion to suppress contained sufficient factual allegations to require a hearing under the People v. Mendoza standards, and therefore the Appellate Division erred in denying a hearing. The order was modified to remit the case for a suppression hearing and affirmed as modified.
