People v. Berson

New York Court of Appeals
People v. Berson, 308 N.Y. 918 (N.Y. 1955)
127 N.E.2d 79; 1955 N.Y. LEXIS 1159
Concur: Conway

People v. Berson

Opinion

Judgment affirmed. On this record defendant was properly convicted of a criminal contempt of court, although it is possible, and even probable, that his refusal to answer was because of a mistaken belief that he had a right so to do and, although it is possible, and even probable, that a truthful answer to the question would have shown his innocence of the alleged misconduct which the Grand Jury was investigating. No opinion.

Concur: Conway, Ch. J., Desmond, Dye, Fuld, Froessel, Van Voorhis and Burke, JJ.
