New York Court of Appeals December 10, 2013 (People v. O'Toole)

lead-opinion

OPINION OF THE COURT

Smith, J.

We hold that on the facts of this case defendant’s acquittal of a charge of first degree robbery that was based on the alleged display of a firearm barred the People from introducing, at a later trial for second degree robbery, evidence that a firearm was displayed.

*337I

Defendant was charged with first and second degree robbery and other crimes.
