THE DUPLICITY IN THE INDICTMENT WAS REMEDIED BY DETAILS PROVIDED TO THE DEFENSE PRIOR TO TRIAL AND BY DETAILED TRIAL EVIDENCE (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department held the prosecutor had remedied the duplicity in the indictment by providing information in a supplemental bill of particulars and a “trial indictment” after the motion to dismiss for duplicity was made, information corroborated by detailed trial evidence;

With respect to the counts of criminal sexual act in the first degree, after defendant made his motion, the prosecutor provided him with a supplemental bill of particulars that identified a precise date for each of the first 10 counts of criminal sexual act in the first degree. We conclude that dismissal of those counts is not required because the duplicity was “cured by reference to a bill of particulars supplementing the indictment” … . ,,,

With respect to the counts of rape in the first degree, although the duplicity of those counts was left unaddressed by the supplemental bill of particulars, before trial, the prosecutor provided defendant with a document styled as a “trial indictment,” which indicated that the People intended to prove a specific instance with respect to each of the counts on which defendant was ultimately convicted … . In addition, the People provided evidence of those specific instances of forced sexual intercourse at trial by offering the testimony of the victim … . The victim’s testimony was detailed, graphic, and corroborated by receipts, photographs, and emails that allowed the victim to pinpoint the precise dates on which each of those incidents of forced sexual intercourse occurred. “Because defendant was convicted only of those counts of [rape in the first degree] where pretrial notice of specific instances was given and where those specific instances were proved at trial” … , we conclude that dismissal of those counts as duplicitous was not required. People v Quiros, 2020 NY Slip Op 04279, Fourth Dept 7-24-20
