The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Norman McBride, Appellant

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that exigent circumstances justified the warrantless entry into McBride's home, that the seizure of evidence and admission of his Miranda‑waived statements were proper, and that the identification lineup was not unduly suggestive. Justice Pigott dissented, arguing that the police could have obtained a warrant and that the entry violated Payton.
