New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Joseph Daddona

May 6, 199381 N.Y.2d 990

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the trial court did not err in failing to give a jury charge on circumstantial evidence because the convictions were supported by both direct and circumstantial evidence. The Court reiterated that a special charge is required only when a case relies wholly on circumstantial evidence.
