5 Misc. 2d 1063 | Troy City Police Court | 1957
The defendant has been arraigned in the Police Court of the City of Troy on a written information charging him with the commission of the misdemeanor of conspiracy in violation of subdivision 6 of section 580 of the Penal Law. At the time of his arraignment his attorney moved ‘1 for a preliminary examination on the grounds of Section 56, Subd. 38, as read with Section 211 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, that this Court is without jurisdiction to try the defendant.” Decision on this motion was reserved by the court with the consent of the District Attorney and counsel for the movant.
This motion has its rationale in a patent misconception on the part of defendant’s counsel concerning the preliminary procedural rights of a defendant charged with a misdemeanor in a Police Court of a second class city of the State of New York, It is also wholly repugnant tb long-established, statutory and
It is, therefore, denied in all respects.
