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 Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the Grand Jury evidence was legally sufficient to support indictments for petit larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, resisting arrest, and second‑degree assault. The Court applied the standard of legal sufficiency, concluding the evidence could rationally support guilty inferences on each count. Justice Titone dissented, arguing the evidence was insufficient and the indictment should be dismissed.
