New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Keith Keen, Appellant
April 13, 200094 N.Y.2d 533
Summary
The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the defendant's Antommarchi waiver was effective, that he was not entitled to be present at defense‑initiated ex parte conferences, and that the trial court properly instructed the jury on a missing‑witness charge because the prosecution showed the witness was under the defendant's control and could have been called.
