Description

[67 N.Y.2d 22 Page 25] Opinion OF THE COURT Defendants Peter Chan and Billy Chin appeal from orders of the Appellate Division, First Department, which affirmed separate judgments of the Supreme Court, New York County, convicting them of attempted murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence. The pivotal issue is whether they were denied their constitutional right to confront an adverse witness, the victim of the crime, when the witness invoked his privilege against self-incrimination on cross-examination. We conclude that there was no infringement of the right to confrontation, and, finding no merit to any of the other contentions raised, affirm the orders of the Appellate Division.
