July 8, 199993 N.Y.2d 571
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division orders in both People v. Anthony Pitts and People v. Max Almonor, holding that the trial courts acted within their discretion in precluding portions of the defendants' psychiatric evidence because the defendants failed to provide timely notice under CPL 250.10. The Court emphasized the statutory notice and preclusion requirements and applied an abuse‑of‑discretion standard of review.
