The People of the State of New York v. Randolfo Diaz
March 26, 201320 N.Y.3d 569
Summary
The Court affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the trial court erred in excluding Martinez's testimony about the complainant's prior false allegations and that the error was not harmless, while finding the expert testimony on child sexual abuse was properly admitted. The Court also noted a concurring opinion that disagreed with the majority on the admissibility of the expert testimony.
