New York Court of Appeals
People v. Harden, 30 N.Y.2d 930 (N.Y. 1972)
287 N.E.2d 379; 335 N.Y.S.2d 685; 1972 N.Y. LEXIS 1138

People v. Harden

Dissenting Opinion

Chief Judge Fuld dissents and votes to reverse and grant a new trial upon the ground that the in-court identification by the complaining witness was irreparably tainted, as a matter of law, by the two highly suggestive and prejudicial “ show-ups ” to which the appellant was subjected prior to the trial. (See, e.g., United States v. Wade, 388 U. S. 218, 240; People v. Hanley, 27 N Y 2d 648; People v. Hill, 22 N Y 2d 686; People v. Mobley, 29 A D 2d 775.)

Concurring Opinion

Concur: Judges Burke, Scileppi, Bergan, Breitel, Jasen and Gibson.
