New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Morris Malinsky, David Lustigman and Robert Felt
January 7, 196515 N.Y.2d 86
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that the trial judge erred by refusing to turn over Detective Sullivan's notes and remanded the case for a new hearing to determine whether the informer's identity must be disclosed, emphasizing that nondisclosure is impermissible when it would preclude a fair determination of probable cause.
