People v. De Grandis

New York Court of Appeals
People v. De Grandis, 12 N.Y.2d 812 (N.Y. 1962)
187 N.E.2d 130

People v. De Grandis

Opinion of the Court

Judgments affirmed; no opinion.

Concur: Judges Dye, Van Voorhis, Burke and Foster. Chief Judge Desmond and Judges Fuld and Froessel dissent and vote to reverse and to order a new trial upon the ground that keeping the jury in deliberation for over 24 consecutive hours without any respite, and after they had advised the court of their fatigue on more than one occasion, constitutes coercion of the jury as matter of law.
