People v. Santorelli
Citations: 267 A.D.2d 259; 699 N.Y.S.2d 291; 1999 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 12549
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; December 5, 1999; New York; State Appellate Court
The defendant appealed an order from the Supreme Court, Westchester County, which denied his motion to vacate a conviction from June 1, 1998. The court affirmed the order, ruling that the denial was appropriate as the prosecution did not possess certain Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that the defendant claimed were necessary for his case. The court referenced several precedents to support its decision. Additionally, the court found that the defendant's other arguments lacked merit. The decision was concurred by Justices Santucci, Joy, Florio, and Luciano.
