People v. Breslin

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Dec 29, 1967
234 N.E.2d 701 (N.Y. 1967)

Opinion

Argued November 27, 1967

Decided December 29, 1967

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, ARTHUR MARKEWICH, J.

Joseph L. Belvedere for appellant.

Frank S. Hogan, District Attorney ( Alan F. Scribner and H. Richard Uviller of counsel), for respondent.


Judgment affirmed. The admission of the Grand Jury testimony may be deemed to be harmless error ( Gilbert v. California, 388 U.S. 263). Therefore, we find it unnecessary to pass on the question of retroactive application of Garrity v. New Jersey ( 385 U.S. 493).

Concur: Chief Judge FULD and Judges VAN VOORHIS, BURKE, SCILEPPI, BERGAN, KEATING and BREITEL.
