May 15, 198462 N.Y.2d 275
Summary
The Court held that a trial court’s failure to object to the submission of a lesser offense that is not a true lesser included offense is waivable under CPL 300.50 and not a jurisdictional defect, affirming convictions in Simpson and Williams, but reversing the Appellate Division in Ford, reinstating the indictment and remanding for further proceedings.
