New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Saul Russell

May 7, 199279 N.Y.2d 1024

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the trial court did not err in admitting the testimony of four lay witnesses who identified the defendant from surveillance photographs. The Court found the testimony relevant and not improper bolstering, and it declined to review the defendant's unpreserved arguments about cumulative evidence.
