New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Arthur Mills, Appellant

October 28, 20031 N.Y.3d 269

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction for criminally negligent homicide, holding that the defendant waived any statute‑of‑limitations defense by requesting the lesser included offense and that the indictment for depraved‑indifference murder was legally sufficient; the marital privilege did not apply to the wife's testimony. Justice Smith dissented, arguing no waiver occurred.
