New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Frank Santos

October 14, 198668 N.Y.2d 859

Summary

The Court held that a summary denial of a defendant's motion to dismiss indictments under CPL 30.30 was erroneous because the People failed to meet their burden to show excusable delay, and therefore remanded the case for a hearing on the motion; the order was affirmed as modified.
