New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Appellant v. Jody Robinson, Respondent
March 27, 199789 N.Y.2d 648
Summary
The Court held that the trial court erred in excluding the defendant's estranged wife's Grand Jury testimony; under due process, such unavailable, material, and reliable testimony is admissible despite CPL 670.10's limitations, and the error was not harmless.
