Can a defendant who abscondes from an attorney's office, absconding from the office, and absconds from the court?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Bing, 558 N.E.2d 1011, 559 N.Y.S.2d 474, 76 N.Y.2d 331 (N.Y. 1990):
The People, however, noting that we approved a substantive exception to the rule for cases on appeal (see, People v. Colwell, 65 N.Y.2d 883, 493 N.Y.S.2d 298, 482 N.E.2d 1214, supra), would have us add new exceptions in Bing, for pending charges in other States, and in Cawley, for defendants who implicitly relinquish the attorney-client relationship by absconding.
