New York Court of Appeals

People v. Khiamdavanh

June 18, 20262026 NY Slip Op 03903

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the order upholding defendant's convictions for attempted murder, assault, and weapon possession. It held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a missing witness instruction because the available deposition and trial evidence showed the missing witness's testimony would have been cumulative, and defendant did not identify any basis for finding otherwise. No separate opinions were filed.
