People v. Crimminsgreen2 sentences2016A constitutional error requires reversal of a conviction and a new trial unless the error is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, that is, the proof of the defendant’s guilt, without reference to the error, is overwhelming, and there is no reasonable possibility that the error might have contributed to the defendant’s conviction (see People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 237-242 [1975]). 2016A constitutional error requires reversal of a conviction and a new trial unless the error is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, that is, the proof of the defendant’s guilt, without reference to the error, is overwhelming, and there is no reasonable possibility that the error might have contributed to the defendant’s conviction (see People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 237-242 [1975]). | 4 | 6 |
People v. Smithgreen2 sentences2008However, on this record, we conclude that such error was harmless. “[A] constitutional error requires a reversal of a conviction and a new trial unless the error is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, that is, ‘there is no reasonable possibility that the error might have contributed to defendant’s conviction’ ” (People v Smith, 97 NY2d 324, 330 [2002], quoting People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 237 [1975]; see People v Wardlaw, 6 NY3d 556, 560-561 [2006]; People v Goldstein, 6 NY3d 119, 129-130 [2005]). 2002Notwithstanding the constitutional error of admitting the illegally seized key in evidence, we find reversal is not required. “[A] constitutional error requires a reversal of a conviction and a new trial unless the error is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, that is, ‘there is no reasonable possibility that the error might have contributed to defendant’s conviction’ ” (People v Smith, 97 NY2d 324, 330 , quoting People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 237 ). | 1 | 2 |
People v. Ellisongreen1 sentence2016“A constitutional error requires reversal of a conviction and a new trial unless the error is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, that is, the proof of the defendant’s guilt, without reference to the error, is overwhelming, and there is no reasonable possibility that the error might have contributed to the defendant’s conviction” (People v Ellison, 138 AD3d 1137, 1138 [2016]; see People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 237-242 [1975]). | 1 | 1 |

People v. Paulmangreen1 sentence2008Evidence of guilt at trial included, among other things, defendant’s oral admission to the detectives, his detailed written statement (which was consistent with evidence at the crime scene and the method of attack), the admissible portion of his inculpatory statement overheard by the correction officer, and that a Google search conducted on the computer at his home prior to the crime included “murder with note with letter left behind.” In light of the overwhelming proof of guilt, reversal is not required (see generally People v Paulman, 5 NY3d 122, 134 [2005]). | 1 | 1 |
