The People of the State of New York v. Alexander G. Crampe, Appellant the People of the State of New York v. Blake…
October 13, 201117 N.Y.3d 469
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the town justice’s waiver colloquy in People v. Crampe failed to satisfy the required searching inquiry, reversing the Appellate Term’s order and ordering a new trial. It also held that the suppression court’s waiver colloquy in People v. Wingate was deficient, but the trial court’s extensive colloquy was sufficient, modifying the Appellate Division’s order and remanding for a new suppression hearing.
