New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Luis A. Pabon, Appellant
November 1, 201628 N.Y.3d 147
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed Luis A. Pabon's conviction, holding that the statute of limitations was tolled under CPL 30.10(3)(f), that the trial judge's admission of the investigator's opinion testimony was harmless error, and that the judge's refusal to sequester his notes and electronic devices did not constitute reversible error. The Court relied on the plain meaning rule and legislative history to interpret the statutes. Justice Pigott filed a brief concurrence affirming the judgment. The opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the New York Reports.
