The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Thomas G. Steward, Appellant
June 11, 199688 N.Y.2d 496

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the defendant's post‑Miranda waiver of counsel was effective and that no derivative right to counsel survives People v. Bing; therefore the inculpatory statements were admissible and suppression was not required.
