New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Lynette Cooper, Appellant
October 10, 200298 N.Y.2d 541
Summary
The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the reduction of charges from a class A to a class B misdemeanor did not alter the applicable CPL 30.30 speedy‑trial period because the change is not covered by CPL 30.30(5); the 90‑day period measured from the filing of the information remained controlling and the prosecution was timely.
