New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Alan Kassebaum, Appellant

February 15, 200195 N.Y.2d 611

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction for attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance, holding that New York had territorial jurisdiction under CPL 20.20(1)(a) because substantial conduct and intent occurred in the State, and that the omission of an additional jurisdictional theory from the verdict sheet did not constitute reversible error.
