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 the Appellate Division’s judgment, holding that the tolling provision of CPL 30.10(3)(f) applies to the defendant’s crime and therefore the indictment is not time‑barred. The Court also found 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 abuse of discretion. A dissent would have reversed on the statute‑of‑limitations issue.
