New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Rafael Rodney, Appellant

March 23, 199585 N.Y.2d 289

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that routine booking questions are exempt from the notice requirement of CPL 710.30 and that the defendant's employment question falls within that exemption. Consequently, the statement made by the defendant during booking was admissible without prior notice.
