People v. Ketchum
New York Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
Memobakdum. The order appealed from should be affirmed.
The record discloses examples of grievous misconduct by the prosecution in cross-examination and summation which we strongly condemn. However, since the overwhelming proof is all but conclusive of defendant’s guilt, and the misconduct does not reflect a pattern throughout the trial, but rather reactions at certain times of stress, reversal is not warranted.
Chief Judge Bbeitel and Judges Gabbielli, Jokes, Wachtlek, Rabik and Steveks concur; Judge Jasek taking no part.
Order affirmed in a memorandum.
