The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Thomas Jackson, Appellant

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the defendant's challenge to the trial court's Sandoval ruling was not preserved for appellate review and that his waiver of the right to be present at sidebar conferences was valid. Justice Fahey, in a concurring opinion, agreed with the waiver finding but argued that the Sandoval issue was preserved.
