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

Summary

The Court reversed the lower court, granting the defendant’s motion to suppress because the People failed to satisfy the basis‑of‑knowledge prong of the Aguilar‑Spinelli test, and held that the People are not required to produce the sending officer at a suppression hearing. The decision also clarified that hearsay, even double hearsay, may establish probable cause if it meets Aguilar‑Spinelli.
