The People of the State of New York, Appellant v. Juwanna Wrotten, Respondent

Summary

The Court of Appeals held that the Supreme Court correctly exercised its inherent authority under Judiciary Law § 2‑b(3) to permit live two‑way video testimony of an unavailable elderly witness and that such testimony did not violate the federal or New York State Confrontation Clauses. The Appellate Division's reversal was vacated and the case remanded for further factual consideration.
