Description
[44 N.Y.2d 458 Page 460] Opinion OF THE COURT A Suffolk County jury found the defendant guilty of criminally negligent homicide. The Appellate Division reversed and dismissed the indictment holding that the defendant's confession should be suppressed because the police questioned him in custody, in the absence of counsel, after an attorney retained to represent him had repeatedly called the police department central switchboard, identified himself, asked to speak with the defendant and requested that the defendant not be questioned until he arrived. Concededly these calls were not put through to the defendant, the interrogating officers or their supervisors. Instead the attorney was erroneously informed that the police did not have the defendant. On this appeal by the People the only question raised is whether, under the circumstances, the attorney's repeated calls to the police department central switchboard were sufficient to put the police on notice that an attorney had entered the proceedings to represent the defendant on the criminal charges under investigation.
