New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. David M. Levy, Patrick Maloney and Louis D'Antonio
February 4, 196515 N.Y.2d 159
Summary
The Court held that the defendants' conduct constituted robbery, not kidnapping, and therefore reversed the kidnapping convictions while affirming the remaining convictions; it also found no reversible error in the extensive questioning of a witness. Justice Burke dissented, arguing that the kidnapping statute should apply.
