People v. Farrell

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Kuffner, J.), rendered January 4, 1991, convicting him of manslaughter in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence. By decision and order of this Court dated February 22, 1994, the appeal was held in abeyance, and the matter was remitted to the Supreme Court, Richmond County, for a reconstruction hearing to determine whether the defendant was present at that portion of the Sandoval hearing conducted on October 24, 1990. The Supreme Court has now complied (see, People v Farrell, 201 AD2d 665).
