People v. Lake
New York Court of Appeals
People v. Lake, 14 N.Y.2d 790 (N.Y. 1964)
199 N.E.2d 847; 250 N.Y.S.2d 816; 1964 N.Y. LEXIS 1090
People v. Lake
Opinion of the Court
Order reversed and a hearing directed. The factual allegations of coercion by the Judge and District Attorney leading to a plea of guilty are not traversed by the District Attorney and are sufficient on their face to require a hearing (People v. Picciotti, 4 N Y 2d 340; People v. Guariglia, 303 N. Y. 338; People v. Pearson, 12 N Y 2d 978).
Concur: Chief Judge Desmond and Judges Dye, Fuld, Burke and Bergan. Judges Van Voorhis and Scileppi dissent and vote to affirm.
