New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Kenneth Grier
October 17, 197537 N.Y.2d 847
Summary
The Court held that the admission of hearsay for identification, though erroneous, was harmless error, and that the grand larceny conviction must be dismissed because the robbery and grand larceny counts are inclusory and concurrent, with the greater count prevailing. The order of the Appellate Division was modified accordingly and the remainder of the judgment affirmed.
