254 A.D. 914 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1938
Defendant has appealed from a judgment of the County Court of Sullivan county convicting her of the crime of arson in the second degree on January 10, 1938. Defendant contends that the verdict was contrary to law, contrary to the evidence and against the weight of the evidence, and that she was deprived of a fair trial because of the incompetence of her attorney. On the trial defendant offered no proof on her own behalf. The evidence is sufficient to sustain the jury’s verdict. The indictment was sufficient and the bill of particulars fully apprised defendant of the nature of the charge against her. Defendant now contends that she was deprived of the opportunity to present her ease to the jury
