New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Benjamin E. Cohen, Appellant

October 30, 199790 N.Y.2d 632

Summary

The Court affirmed the validity of the search warrant despite the informant's later arrest, but reversed the lower court and suppressed the defendant's confession because the interrogation intermingled questions about a crime for which counsel had attached, violating the State constitutional right to counsel.
