New York Court of Appeals, 1961

People v. Wuest

People v. Wuest
New York Court of Appeals · Decided March 2, 1961
9 N.Y.2d 731; 174 N.E.2d 330

People v. Wuest

Opinion of the Court

Order of the County Court reversed and the case remitted to that court upon the ground that at the time in question the defendant was in a public place. Since the order of reversal does not comply with section 543-a of the Code of Criminal Procedure in that it does not state whether its determination is upon the law or the facts or both, we must presume (§ 543-a, subd. 4) that it was upon the law alone- and, therefore, remit this appeal to the County Court for a determination of the questions of fact. (People v. Kruger, 302 N. Y. 447.) No opinion.

Concur: Chief Judge Desmond and Judges Dye, Fuld, Fboessel, Van Voobhis, Bubke and Fosteb.
