The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Tecoy Ingram, Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's order and remanded the case because CPL 470.15(1) bars appellate review of issues not decided in the appellant's favor or not addressed by the trial court. The Court held that the Appellate Division improperly decided the case on a second‑level De Bour ground that the trial court never reached. Justice Pigott dissented, arguing that LaFontaine should be overruled.
