What is the effect of suggesting a sequence of events with respect to the disclosure of the facts to the police?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Fentress, 103 Misc.2d 179, 425 N.Y.S.2d 485 (N.Y. Cty. Ct. 1980):
While he may have wanted the rabbi there first, that desire relates merely to chronology and does not affect its inevitable disclosure. By suggesting a sequence of events, Fentress did not revoke his plainly stated agreement that the fact of the homicide was to be divulged to the police. The case, in this regard, is similar to State v. Martin, S.D., 274 N.W.2d 893.
