People v. Cunninghamgreen
ny · 1980 · cited in 3 New York opinions naming this issue, 1980–1992
2 sentences

1992In light of the fact that the defendant, who made a motion to suppress his statements before his first trial, made a new motion for suppression on Cunningham grounds (see, People v Cunningham, 49 NY2d 203 ) immediately prior to his retrial, I do not agree with my colleagues that the defendant waived his right to press his Cunningham claim on this appeal because his attorney failed to raise it on the appeal from his now-vacated judgment of conviction (see, People v Griswold, 58 NY2d 633 ; see also, People v Sanders, 56 NY2d 51, 56 ).

1980Although the United States Supreme Court has stated that it favors prospective application for any decision amplifying the exclusionary rule (Desist v United States, 394 US 244, 249 , supra), the Cunningham rule rests solidly and exclusively on State constitutional law (People v Cunningham, supra, p 207 ), and the courts of this State have "consistently exercised the highest degree of vigilance in safeguarding the right of an accused to have the assistance of an attorney at every stage of the legal proceedings against him” (People v Cunningham, supra, p 207 ).

2007We therefore remit for a hearing on the issue of Cunningham’s ownership of that property and its availability to petitioner for satisfaction of the judgment, as well as for a determination on petitioner’s request for disclosure pursuant to CPLR 408 (see Stapleton Studios v City of New York, 7 AD3d 273, 274-275 [2004]).

1992In light of the fact that the defendant, who made a motion to suppress his statements before his first trial, made a new motion for suppression on Cunningham grounds (see, People v Cunningham, 49 NY2d 203 ) immediately prior to his retrial, I do not agree with my colleagues that the defendant waived his right to press his Cunningham claim on this appeal because his attorney failed to raise it on the appeal from his now-vacated judgment of conviction (see, People v Griswold, 58 NY2d 633 ; see also, People v Sanders, 56 NY2d 51, 56 ).

1992I note, however, that my colleagues nonetheless comment upon that claim and I agree with their assertions that, although the disputed statements were obtained after the defendant requested an attorney (see, People v Cunningham, supra), the failure to suppress them does not mandate reversal because any error occasioned by that failure was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt (see, People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230 ; see also, People v Sanders, supra).

While there is, concededly, a significant difference between the roles played by an attorney at a lineup and during interrogation, a lawyer’s participation at the lineup is not merely that of a wholly passive observer.
