The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Norcott Corby, Also Known as Corby Norcott, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in precluding the defendant's cross‑examination of the People's primary witness and that any error was harmless; Justice G.B. Smith dissented, arguing the limitation violated the Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause and was not harmless.
