New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Norma Jean Robinson, Appellant

September 10, 199688 N.Y.2d 1001

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division’s order. It held that the defendant failed to preserve her claim that the jury instruction on reasonable doubt shifted the burden of proof because she did not make a sufficiently specific objection at trial. The Court also rejected the defendant’s remaining contentions as meritless.
