New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Jason Naradzay

November 24, 200811 N.Y.3d 460

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the convictions for attempted murder, attempted burglary, and criminal possession of a weapon, holding that the defendant's conduct was dangerously near the commission of the crimes and that his Miranda statements were admissible. The Court rejected the defendant's claim that his intent was equivocal and that the police interrogation violated his rights. Judge Jones dissented in part, arguing the conduct did not satisfy the dangerous proximity requirement for attempt.
