New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Demetrius McGee

March 21, 201320 N.Y.3d 513

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions for reckless endangerment and attempted murder and that the defendant's trial counsel was not constitutionally ineffective. The Court rejected the defendant's arguments that the confession was uncorroborated under CPL 60.50 and that counsel failed to raise certain sufficiency or strategic issues.
