In re Alan L.
Opinion of the Court
In related juvenile delinquency proceedings pursuant to Family Court Act article 3, the presentment agency appeals from an order of the Family Court, Kings County (Turbow, J.), dated April 30, 2010, which, after a hearing, granted those branches of Alan L.’s omnibus motion which were to suppress physical evidence and his statements to law enforcement officials, and dismissed the petitions.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Family Court properly granted that branch of the
The Family Court also properly suppressed the respondent’s subsequent statements to law enforcement officials as the fruit of the illegal search and seizure (see Wong Sun v United States, 371 US 471, 484 [1963]; People v Pearson, 59 AD3d 743, 744 [2009]).
Without the physical evidence and the statements, there is no basis to find that the respondent committed acts which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crimes of burglary in the second degree, petit larceny, and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree as charged in the petitions. Therefore, the Family Court properly dismissed the petitions. Covello, J.P., Angiolillo, Dickerson and Hall, JJ., concur.
