The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. John F. Carroll, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, dismissed the three first‑degree rape convictions for lack of proof of penetration, held that the trial court abused its discretion by excluding the audiotape of the defendant’s conversation with his stepdaughter, and affirmed the admissibility of expert testimony on Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome for the remaining sexual‑abuse counts.
