1 Packet Two: Criminal Law and Procedure Chapter 1: Background Review from Introduction to Law The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land. The United States Supreme Court is the final interpreter of the United States Constitution. The New York Constitution governs in NY and in criminal matters is the supreme law of New York. 1 The New York Court of Appeals is New York s highest court and as such is the final interpreter of the New York State Constitution. The NY Supreme Court, Appellate Division ( Appellate Division ) is the intermediate appellate court in New York (so is the Appellate Term [it handles appeals from the NYC Criminal Court]). The NY Supreme Court is the trial court of general jurisdiction: it will handle the trial of all felonies. Almost all criminal cases in New York City will start in the Criminal Court of the City of New York. (Misdemeanors) Courts with Criminal Jurisdiction (Felonies) Court of Appeals Highest Court Court of Appeals Appellate Term Intermediate Appellate Court Appellate Division Criminal Court Trial Court Supreme Court Criminal Court Commencement Criminal Court 1 The United States Constitution (specifically the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments made applicable to the states through the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment) and specifically the United States Supreme Court s interpretation of the applicable provisions, provide for minimum standards in protecting the rights recognized in the constitution. However, the individual states may provide for a greater protection under their constitution (see Oregon v Hass, 420 US 714 [1975]). Page 1 of 16
2 Chapter One: Introduction Introductory New York Statutes The following statutes provide basic definitions to terms and phrases you will be using in this course and in New York s criminal law and procedure. Primer on Criminal Statutes Three Types of Criminal Statutes 1 Define Terms: Statutes that define terms used either in statutes in the Penal Law or Criminal Procedure Law; 2 Establish Offense: Statutes that establish and define a criminal offense; and 3 Establish Process: Statutes that establish procedure (i.e., a process). Statute Type 1: Define Terms Used Either in Statutes (Example) A person is guilty of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree when he or she knowingly and unlawfully sells a controlled substance (Penal Law ). When you look at that statute, you see several terms that need to be defined. A person is guilty of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree when he or she knowingly and unlawfully sells a controlled substance. The four terms that we need to have defined are: (1) knowingly; (2) unlawfully; (3) sells; and (4) controlled substance. Page 2 of 16
3 Chapter One: Introduction The Statute A person is guilty of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree when he or she knowingly and unlawfully sells a controlled substance Terms to Be Defined & Statute Knowingly Penal Law (2) Unlawfully Penal Law (2) Sells (Or Sell) Penal Law (1) Controlled Substance Penal Law (5) and Public Health Law 3306 (Schedules I-V). The term sell is defined in statute and is found in subdivision one of Penal Law Controlled Substances; Definitions (Penal Law ) 1. Sell means to sell, exchange, give or dispose of to another, or to offer or agree to do the same... Definitions: How to Define Terms This statute, found in Penal Law Article 220, defines what the term sell means when applied to controlled substance statutes which are found in Penal Law Article 220. Notice how the term sell in this statute is different than what you would find in a dictionary (e.g., transfer of goods or services for money). The legislature, in creating the language of the statute, gets to define a term almost any way they want to (e.g., expanding the definition of sell ). Whenever you come across a statute that uses terms, always look for a statute that defines that term. You will either find the statute in the beginning of the article (e.g., Penal Law ) or in a definition article (e.g., CPL 1.20 or Penal Law 10.00). Definitions at the beginning of an article dealing with specific criminal offenses generally only apply to that article of the Penal Law (e.g., Article 130 [Sex Offenses], Article 140 [Criminal Trespass and Burglary], Article 155 [Larceny], Article 220 [Controlled Substances], Article 265 [Firearm and Weapons]). Definitions found in Penal Law generally apply to the entire Penal Law. Definitions in CPL 1.20 generally apply to the entire Criminal Procedure Law. 2 Penal Law means that this statute is found in Article 220 of the Penal Law and since it is.00, it is the first statute. Page 3 of 16
4 Chapter One: Introduction If the term is not defined in statute, the term is usually defined in case law by the court either defining the term or applying the term to a specific set of facts. For example, certain types of assault and robbery require a physical injury. Physical injury is defined in Penal Law (9) as an impairment of physical condition or substantial pain. However, what those terms mean is found in case law. Process to Define Terms Step 1 Read the statute 2 Look for the.00 section of the Article for definitions particular to that Article (e.g., Penal Law or ) 3 Look at either Penal Law or CPL 1.39 for general definitions 4 Read the Practice Commentaries for each statute that is relevant (both the Penal Law and the Criminal Procedure Law have Practice Commentaries) Page 4 of 16
5 Chapter One: Introduction Example of Process to Define Terms (Using Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Seventh Degree [Penal Law ]) Step Read the statute (Penal Law ) Look at the.00 section of the Article for definitions particular to that Article (Penal Law ) Look at either Penal Law or CPL 1.39 for general definitions (Penal Law [8]) Read the Practice Commentaries for each statute that is relevant A person is guilty of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree when he knowingly and unlawfully possesses a controlled substance. 2. Unlawfully means in violation of article thirty-three of the public health law. 5. Controlled substance means any substance listed in schedule I, II, III, IV or V of section thirty-three hundred six of the public health law other than marihuana, but including concentrated cannabis as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision four of section thirty-three hundred two of such law. Possess means to have physical possession or otherwise to exercise dominion or control over tangible property. The term possess includes actual or constructive possession of tangible property [Penal Law (8)]. People v Sierra, 45 NY2d 56; People v Torres, 68 NY2d 677 (1986)... Statute Type 2: Establish a Criminal Offense The second type of criminal statutes are ones that establish and define a criminal offense. These statutes are found in Part Three of the Penal Law and in various statutes outside of the Penal Law (e.g., driving while intoxicated is found in the Vehicle and Traffic Law). An example of this type of statute is Assault in the third degree (Penal Law ). 3 The entire statute states: 3 NOTE: The numerical designation of this statute is unusual because it ends with.00 and is not a defining statute. The reason may be that the terms that need to be defined (e.g., physical injury ) are defined elsewhere. Page 5 of 16
6 Chapter One: Introduction Assault in the third degree (Penal Law ) A person is guilty of assault in the third degree when: 1. With intent to cause physical injury to another person, he causes such injury to such person or to a third person; or 2. He recklessly causes physical injury to another person; or 3. With criminal negligence, he causes physical injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon or a dangerous instrument. Assault in the third degree is a class A misdemeanor. 1 The title 2 The introduction sentence 3 The definition; and 4 The level of the offense. Parts of this Type of Statute Breaking this Statute Down The Statute Explanation Assault in the third degree (Penal Law ) A person is guilty of assault in the third degree when: Title Introduction Definitions: There are three types of assault in the third degree in this statute 1. With intent to cause physical injury to another person, he causes such injury to such person or to a third person; or 2. He recklessly causes physical injury to another person; or 3.

7 Chapter One: Introduction Statute Type 3: Establish a Procedure Procedural statutes establish a process: how a criminal case starts; how it proceeds; and how it ends. Here is an example of a procedure statute. This statute establishes the procedure for the demand for discovery. Discovery; When Demand, Refusal and Compliance Made (CPL ) 1. A demand to produce shall be made within thirty days after arraignment and before the commencement of trial. If the defendant is not represented by counsel, and has requested an adjournment to obtain counsel or to have counsel assigned, the thirty-day period shall commence, for purposes of a demand by the defendant, on the date counsel initially appears on his behalf. However, the court may direct compliance with a demand to produce that, for good cause shown, could not have been made within the time specified. 2. A refusal to comply with a demand to produce shall be made within fifteen days of the service of the demand to produce, but for good cause may be made thereafter. 3. Absent a refusal to comply with a demand to produce, compliance with such demand shall be made within fifteen days of the service of the demand or as soon thereafter as practicable. Process for Demand for Discovery; Where Defendant Has an Attorney Demand for Discovery (Made within 30 days of arraignment and before trial) OR People s Refusal (Made within 15 days of demand) People s Compliance (Made within 15 days of demand) NOTE: These time periods can be extended by the court if good cause is shown.
