THE WAIVER OF INDICTMENT AND SUPERIOR COURT INFORMATION WERE JURISDICTIONALLY DEFECTIVE (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing defendant’s conviction by guilty plea and dismissing the superior court information (SCI), determined the waiver of indictment and SCI were jurisdictionally defective:

… [D]efendant’s waiver of indictment and subsequent SCI were jurisdictionally defective, because the charged crime of attempted robbery in the third degree in the SCI was not named in the misdemeanor complaint and was a greater offense than those charged therein (see CPL 195.20 …). The waiver of indictment was also jurisdictionally infirm because defendant, who was arraigned on a misdemeanor complaint, was not held for grand jury action (see CPL 195.10[1]…). People v Maglione, 2021 NY Slip Op 06775, First Dept 12-2-21
