People v. Jenkins, Coleman

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
May 16, 1968
238 N.E.2d 755 (N.Y. 1968)

Opinion

Argued April 16, 1968

Decided May 16, 1968

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, MITCHELL D. SCHWEITZER, J.

Julia P. Heit, Anthony F. Marra and William E. Hellerstein for appellants. Isidore Dollinger, District Attorney ( Peter R. DeFilippi of counsel), for respondent.


As indicated in the opinion in People v. Lennon ( 22 N.Y.2d 677), also decided today, there is no need to corroborate the testimony of the complainant in order to sustain the defendants' convictions for the crimes, other than rape and assault with intent to commit rape, charged against them. The other contentions advanced have been considered and found to be without substance.

The judgments appealed from should be affirmed.

Chief Judge FULD and Judges BURKE, SCILEPPI, BERGAN, KEATING, BREITEL and JASEN concur.

Judgments affirmed.
