People v. Pena
New York Court of Appeals
Decided October 30, 1975PublishedCited by 37 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtFuchsberg, J.
On this appeal by the People, the sole issue is whether the trial court properly denied defendant’s application for disclosure of the identity of a confidential informer.
After a trial by jury, the defendant was convicted on all counts of an indictment charging him with the sale and possession of dangerous drugs. The Appellate Division, Second Department (45 AD2d 1038), by a divided court, reversed the judgment and ordered a new trial so that the informer can be produced. For the reasons which follow, we believe that order should be reversed.1
