New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Robert Buckley

February 15, 199075 N.Y.2d 843

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the indictment may aggregate the value of stolen property belonging to multiple owners to constitute a single count of criminal possession of stolen property in the second degree. The court also held that the trial court did not err by failing to give a lesser‑included offense instruction because the claim was not preserved at trial.
