People v. Lockwood

New York Court of Appeals
People v. Lockwood, 44 N.Y. 769 (N.Y. 1978)

People v. Lockwood

Opinion of the Court

OPINION OF THE COURT

Order reversed, judgment of conviction vacated, and a new trial ordered on the dissenting opinion of Mr. Justice Louis J. Capozzoli at the Appellate Division (55 AD2d, at pp 20-25). See, also, People v Buxton (44 NY2d 33) involving a situation close to that in this case except that the circumstances here, as detailed in the dissenting opinion at the Appellate Division, are even stronger in dictating reversal.

*771Concur: Chief Judge Breitel and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Cooke.
