New York Court of Appeals November 30, 1944

People v. Monaco, 59 N.E.2d 450 (N.Y. 1944)

293 N.Y. 867; 1944 N.Y. LEXIS 2287

<italic>Per Curiam.</italic>

Opinion of the Court

*868 Per Curiam.

It was error for the trial court to charge, as a matter of law, that Katz was not an accomplice of the defendant. That was a question, on the record here presented, for the jury.

The judgments should be reversed and a new trial ordered.

Lehman, Ch. J., Lohghean, Rippey, Lewis, Conway, Desmond and Thacher, JJ., concur.

Judgments reversed, etc.
