New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Michael Jensen, Appellant
July 5, 199586 N.Y.2d 248
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s order, holding that the Grand Jury evidence was legally sufficient to support the indictment for petit larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, resisting arrest, and second‑degree assault. The court reasoned that the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the People, could rationally support the requisite elements of each offense. Justice Titone dissented, arguing the evidence was insufficient and the indictment should be dismissed.
