The People of the State of New York v. Anthony Liotta

January 16, 199279 N.Y.2d 841

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the prereadiness period from February 27 to March 23, 1989, and the adjournment period from May 17 to June 14, 1989, are chargeable to the People because the defendant did not expressly consent to the delays and the People failed to justify the adjournments on the record.
