"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Knorr, 2021-21218 (N.Y. Just. Ct. 2021):

"Independent of any obligation the People may have, the defense counsel cannot sit idly by or she runs the risk of never having the information for hearings and trial to the potential detriment of her client" Ferrer, supra at *7. "The defendant is obligated to pursue his rights; he should not silently lie in wait with a challenge to the People's discovery compliance while the speedy trial clock ticks loudly in the background." People v. Nova-Ceballos, Ind. No. 98/2019 at 3 (Sup Ct, New York County 2021).
