Reversal Due to Ineffective Assistance Affirmed Over Forceful Dissent

The Court of Appeals, in a brief memorandum decision, affirmed the Appellate Division’s reversal of defendant’s conviction due to ineffective assistance of counsel, noting counsel’s failure to invoke the court’s prior preclusion order and the presentation of an alibi defense for the wrong day.  Judge Pigott wrote a long and detailed dissent.  People v Jarvis, 2015 NY Slip Op 02869, CtApp 4-7-15
