| Parties | , 191 N.E.2d 904 The PEOPLE, etc., Respondent, v. Habib Riad HAWA, Appellant. |
| Decision Date | 29 May 1963 |
| Court | New York Court of Appeals |
Appeal from Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, 15 A.D.2d 740, 224 N.Y.S.2d 156.
The defendant was convicted of first-degree murder and he appealed.
The Appellate Division affirmed the judgment and held that prior statement by witness, in narrative form, made by Assistant District Attorney in his own hand in preparation for trial, was not exempt from disclosure as work product datum, but that trial court's refusal, after inspection, to permit defense counsel to have access thereto, in light of then prevailing rule, was not ground for reversal of conviction after rule had been changed to require disclosure, where withholding was in no way prejudicial to the defendant and there was overwhelming evidence of guilt.
The defendant appealed to the Court of Appeals.
Mario Matthew Cuomo, Holliswood, and Myron J. Greene, New York City, for defendant-appellant.
Frank S. Hogan, New York City (H. Richard Uviller, and Arthur C. Muhlstock, New York City, of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment affirmed.
All concur.
