People v. Ferrara

OPINION OF THE COURT

Chief Judge Cooke.

This case presents the question whether defendant’s right to counsel was violated when, after defendant retained counsel in connection with his appearances before a Grand Jury investigating fraud in the nursing home industry, the prosecutor arranged to record defendant’s conversations with a nursing home operator during which defendant offered a kickback. In the circumstances of this case, no such violation occurred. The order of the Appellate Division, sustaining the conviction for three counts of perjury in the first degree, should therefore be affirmed.
