New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Ederick Fabricio, Appellant
December 2, 20043 N.Y.3d 402
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the sidebar conference was a pure question of law, not a Sandoval/Ventimiglia hearing, so the defendant had no right to be present and his claim was unpreserved for review.
