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 Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the People presented sufficient corroborative evidence under CPL 60.22(1) to support the defendant's accomplice conviction, and overruled Hudson's requirement that such evidence be independent. Justice Jones dissented, arguing that the evidence failed to meet the independent corroboration standard and that Hudson should remain controlling.
