New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Dupree Harris, Appellant

October 20, 201526 N.Y.3d 1

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that evidence of a witness's murder was admissible because its probative value outweighed any prejudice and the limiting instruction mitigated prejudice; the Court also rejected the defendant's due‑process claim that the prosecutor’s summation improperly suggested the defendant's involvement.
