The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Edwin Tosca, Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting police officers' testimony about an unidentified cab driver's report. The testimony was permissible as background information, not for the truth of the matter, and the defendant was not unduly prejudiced by the prosecution's remarks due to curative jury instructions.
