The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Stanley G. Cratsley, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction for third‑degree rape, holding that the victim’s lack of capacity to consent was sufficiently proven without expert testimony and that the psychologist’s IQ report was admissible as a business record. The court also clarified the legal standard for determining incapacity and the proper foundation for business‑record evidence.
