The People of the State of New York v. Robert Bornholdt, Appellant the People of the State of New York v. Albert Victory

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the convictions of both defendants, holding that the evidence proved felony murder beyond a reasonable doubt, that the affirmative defense provisions of the felony murder statute are constitutionally permissible, that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a severance motion or limiting impeachment evidence, and that the defendant was competent at trial and at the time of the crime.
