New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Genna A. Turner, Appellant
October 23, 201424 N.Y.3d 254
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, vacated the defendant's guilty plea and remanded for further proceedings because the trial court failed to notify the defendant of the post‑release supervision term before the plea, rendering the preservation requirement unnecessary. The Court affirmed the lower court's finding that the confession was attenuated and admissible. It distinguished People v. Murray and applied the due‑process principles articulated in People v. Catu and People v. Louree. Justice Abdus‑Salaam dissented, arguing that the preservation requirement was satisfied and the appellate order should be affirmed.
