New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Nathan J. Reome, Appellant

June 17, 201015 N.Y.3d 188

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction, holding that the victim’s testimony and other evidence sufficiently corroborated the accomplice’s testimony under CPL 60.22(1); the Court also overruled the Hudson rule that required corroboration to be independent. Justice Jones dissented, arguing that the evidence did not meet the statutory requirement.
