The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Yuseff Parris, Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals held that the People failed to establish probable cause for the warrantless arrest of Yuseff Parris because the Aguilar‑Spinelli basis‑of‑knowledge prong was not satisfied by the double‑hearsay information presented. Accordingly, the motion to suppress was granted and the case was remanded for further proceedings. Justice Smith dissented, arguing that probable cause existed and the suppression should be denied.
