New York Court of Appeals December 19, 2000 (People v. Edwards)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Chief Judge Kaye.

In

People v Darden

(34 NY2d 177, 181), the Court held that when information obtained from a confidential informant is necessary to establish probable cause, it would be “fair and wise” for the People to “be required to make the informer available for interrogation before the Judge” in an ex parte hearing.
