New York Court of Appeals March 29, 2012 (People v. Bedessie)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Read, J.

In this appeal, we are asked for the first time to consider the admissibility of expert testimony proffered on the issue of the reliability of a confession. While in a proper case expert testimony on the phenomenon of false confessions should be admitted, the expert here did not propose testimony relevant to this defendant or her interrogation.
