People v. Ray
People v. Ray
16 N.Y.2d 1040; 213 N.E.2d 322; 265 N.Y.S.2d 914; 1965 N.Y. LEXIS 1020
People v. Ray
Opinion of the Court
Judgment reversed and information dismissed. On the vital question in the case whether the entry into the laundry room of the apartment building project in which appellant was a tenant was with an intent to commit a crime, the proof is equivocal. It does not exclude an innocent purpose beyond a reasonable doubt (People v. Fitzgerald, 156 N. Y. 253; People v. Weiss, 290 N. Y. 160).
Concur: Chief Judge Desmond and Judges Dye, Fuld, Van Voorhis, Burke, Scileppi and Bergan.
