BRIEF QUESTIONING OF THE DEFENDANT ON A REPRESENTED MATTER WAS SEPARABLE AS A MATTER OF LAW FROM THE QUESTIONING ON AN UNREPRESENTED MATTER (CT APP).

In a brief memorandum, reversing the Appellate Division, the Court of Appeals determined brief questioning of defendant on a matter on which defendant was represented by counsel was separable as a matter of law from the interrogation on an unrepresented matter. There was no discussion of the facts of the case:

… [T]he impermissible questioning of defendant on a represented matter was so brief, flippant, and minimal that it was discrete and fairly separable as a matter of law from the interrogation of defendant on an unrepresented matter (see People v Cohen , 90 NY2d 632, 641 [1997]). People v Silvagnoli, 2018 NY Slip Op 04276, CtApp 6-12-18
