New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Beato Ozuna, Appellant
December 19, 20067 N.Y.3d 913
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order denying Beato Ozuna's motion for a new trial. The court held that the trial court's evidentiary ruling did not constitute error and that Ozuna failed to meet the threshold for ineffective assistance of counsel under New York's modified Strickland standard.
