New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Warner A. Morris
February 28, 198461 N.Y.2d 290
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that an indictment need not state the exact date of a crime when the date is not a material element; a reasonable approximation of the time period satisfies CPL 200.50 and the Sixth Amendment notice requirement. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the indictment.
