Failure to Request Court-Permission to Re-Present Charges to a Grand Jury Is Reversible Error Which Survives a Guilty Plea

The First Department held that as long as the prosecutor presents evidence regarding potential charges to a grand jury, court-permission to re-present the charges is required.  “The critical question is whether the grand jury failed to indict after a full presentation of the case.”  The fact that the prosecutor “withdrew” the charges from the grand jury’s consideration, or allowed the grand jury to vote to “take no affirmative action” on them, is of no consequence.  The prosecutor’s failure to request and receive court-permission to re-present is a reversible error which survives a guilty plea.  People v Dinkins, 8603, 1443/10, 1st Dept. 3-5-13
