The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Richard Angelo, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction and sentence of the nurse who injected patients with a neuromuscular blocking agent. The Court held that the trial court did not err in excluding polygraph evidence, that CPL 60.55 did not apply, that the expert could not rely on the polygraph under the Sugden reliability test, and that the annotated verdict sheet was admissible because the defendant consented.
