The People of the State of New York ex rel. Earthan Keitt v. Daniel McMann, as Warden of Clinton Prison

Summary

The Court held that a writ of habeas corpus is an appropriate remedy to test claims that the introduction of prior‑conviction evidence under §275‑b violated due process and the privilege against self‑incrimination, but found on the merits that no constitutional right was actually deprived and therefore affirmed the order denying the writ.
