New York Court of Appeals December 20, 1983 (People v. Hall)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division should be reversed, defendant’s conviction vacated, and a new trial ordered.

The People concede that no inquiry was made by the trial court to ensure that defendant (as well as his codefendants) perceived the potential risks inherent in their joint representation by the same attorney.
