People v. Betsch
59 A.D.2d 822, 399 N.Y.S.2d 1010
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided October 28, 1977·No. Appeal No. 1·Published
Opinion
Judgment unanimously modified by vacating the conviction and sentence for one count of criminal contempt, first degree, and, as modified, affirmed. Memorandum: The People concede that appellant’s refusal to answer a series of questions posed to him, after a grant of immunity, before the Grand Jury related solely to one burglary. Thus, it constitutes but a single contempt (see People v Riela, 7 NY2d 571). (Appeal from judgment of Erie Supreme Court—criminal contempt, first degree.) Present—Marsh, P. J., Moule, Cardamone, Simons and Dillon, JJ.
