Criminal Law

DEFENDANT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE GRAND JURY EVEN THOUGH THE REQUEST WAS MADE AFTER THE GRAND JURY HAD VOTED TO INDICT.

The Fourth Department, reversing County Court, determined defendant was entitled to testify before the grand jury, even though his request was received by the district attorney after deadlines had passed and after the grand jury had voted to indictment (but before filing of the indictment):

As the Court of Appeals has noted, a defendant has a right “under CPL 190.50 (5) (a) to provide notice and, therefore, the concomitant right to give testimony even perhaps after an indictment has been voted but before it is filed” … . Where, as here, defendant’s request to testify is received after the grand jury has voted, but before the filing of the indictment, defendant is entitled to a reopening of the proceeding to enable the grand jury to hear defendant’s testimony and to revote the case, if the grand jury be so advised … . People v White, 2017 NY Slip Op 01070, 4th Dept 2-10-17
