People v. Molineaux |
Location: The Other Side, 2011 Genesee Street, Utica (across from the Uptown Theater).
Speaker: James W. Hyde, IV, Esq., Oneida County Public Defender's Office-Criminal Division
The applicability of People v. Molineaux to contemporary criminal defense practice. In a criminal trial, can the People put in evidence of other crimes committed by your client in their direct case? Should you know the rule in People v. Molineaux, when it has been more than a hundred years since the Court of Appeals decided that case? I do a little bit of criminal work, but I usually plead out most of my cases, because my guy is almost always stone cold guilty - does any of this matter to me at all? The answers to all three questions are, "You bet." Want to know why? Why you need to know these things? Why you shuld consider reading a hundred page case that was decided more than a hundred years ago? If you do any criminal work, this seminar will be a great help. |
