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.
