New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Julian Shack, Appellant

November 2, 199586 N.Y.2d 529

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed Julian Shack's conviction for aggravated telephone harassment, holding that the statute is a permissible regulation of conduct, not facially unconstitutional, not overbroad, not vague, and that the charging information satisfied the specificity requirement for a continuing crime. The court also found the psychologist‑patient privilege issue was not preserved for review.
