The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Lerio Guerrero, Appellant

Summary

The Court affirmed that by pleading guilty, Guerrero forfeited his right to challenge the legal sufficiency of both the original DNA indictment and the later amendment that added his name, and therefore his speedy‑trial claim was also dismissed. The dissent argued that the amendment required Grand Jury involvement and that the conviction should be reversed.
