In re Rafael D.
34 N.Y.2d 598; 354 N.Y.S.2d 952; 310 N.E.2d 547; 1974 N.Y. LEXIS 1827
In re Rafael D.
Opinion of the Court
Order affirmed, without costs, in the following memorandum: The unfortunate references, after the conclusion of the fact-finding hearing, to the failure of defendant to take the stand were not appropriate (CPL 60.15, subd. 2). We conclude, however, that such failure played no part in the court’s juvenile delinquency finding. Accordingly there was no reversible error.
Concur: Chief Judge Breitel and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Rabin and Stevens.
