2004(State v Armstrong, supra, 223 Wis 2d at 347 , 588 NW2d at 613 .) The analogy drawn in Armstrong , however, overlooks the long-standing principle that “courts indulge every reasonable presumption against waiver of fundamental constitutional rights” and “do not presume acquiescence in the loss of fundamental rights.” (Johnson v Zerbst, 304 US 458, 464 [1938] [internal quotation marks and citations omitted].) This presumption against waiver of constitutional rights does not exist with respect to the issue of whether or not a suspect has been placed in police custody.

( State v Armstrong, supra , 223 Wis 2d at 347 , 588 NW2d at 613 .)

Following a series of United States Supreme Court cases it is now clear that when an action is by a private figure and the purported libel is published on matters of public concern by a media defendant that plaintiff has the burden of showing both falsity and fault before recovering damages (Philadelphia Newspapers v Hepps, 475 US 767, 776 ; accord, Mahoney v Adirondack Publ.

1989At common law, once the plaintiff established that the defendant was "at fault” in publishing the defamatory falsehood (Gertz v Robert Welch, 418 US 323 ), defendant had the burden of proving in defense that the statement was true (Rinaldi v Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 42 NY2d 369, 379-380 [1977]).

1962He must show the justice of the claim, that it was necessary, and that it was of the value charged.” (Matter of Lester, 172 App. Div. 509, 520 [1916].) Before chapter 443 of the Laws of 1914: ‘ ‘ Theoretically the estates of deceased persons are administered upon the principle * * * that the executor or administrator shall personally advance the necessary expenses of administration in reliance upon the final decree of the surrogate for reimbursement, yet it is well known that no administrator or executor does in fact thus execute his trust.

2025Ultimately, the claimant has the burden of proving the claim by clear and convincing evidence ( see Matter of Parisi , 2024 NYLJ LEXIS 2526, citing Matter of Fiebranz v. McMormick , 43 AD2d 794, 795 [1973], aff'd 35 NY2d 888 [1974]).

2012One exception to the warrant requirement applies “when the exigencies of the situation make the needs of law enforcement so compelling that [a] warrantless search is objectively reasonable” (Kentucky v King, 563 US —, —, 131 S Ct 1849, 1856 [2011] [internal quotation marks omitted], quoting Mincey v Arizona, 437 US 385, 394 [1978]). “[A] warrantless intrusion may be justified by the risk of danger to the police or to other persons inside or outside the dwelling” (Minnesota v Olson, 495 US 91, 100 [1990] [internal quotation marks omitted]).

2012The burden of proving the exception to the search warrant requirement is strictly on the People; that burden is even greater when the police had an opportunity to obtain a warrant (People v Knapp, 52 NY2d 689, 694 [1981]; People v Mojica-Sanchez, 90 AD3d 488 , 489 [1st Dept 2011], Iv denied 18 NY3d 960 [2012]).
