Waiver of Appeal Not Effective

In finding the defendant did not effectively waive his right to appeal, the Second Department explained:

…[T]he record does not demonstrate that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal … . The defendant’s purported waiver of the right to appeal is unenforceable, as the record does not indicate that he had ” a full appreciation of the consequences'” of such waiver … . While the defendant signed a written waiver, a written waiver “is not a complete substitute for an on-the-record explanation of the nature of the right to appeal, and some acknowledgment that the defendant is voluntarily giving up that right” … . Accordingly, in the absence of a knowing, voluntary, and intelligent waiver of the right to appeal, the defendant retained his right to challenge the denial of that branch of his omnibus motion which was to suppress identification testimony… . People v Crawford, 2013 NY Slip Op 06705, 2nd Dept 10-16-13
