New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Kevin Jenkins, Appellant

June 13, 200298 N.Y.2d 280

Summary

The Court held that the trial judge did not abuse discretion in refusing to preclude the ballistics report evidence, finding no undue prejudice despite the alleged late disclosure. The majority affirmed the Appellate Division's decision, while Chief Judge Kaye dissented, arguing that the delayed production of the report substantially prejudiced the defense and warranted a new trial.
