Description

After a joint jury trial defendants Vernon and Vraden Branch were convicted of murder in the second degree (Penal Law, Â§ 125.25, subd 3) and robbery in the first degree (Penal Law, Â§ 160.15). On appeal to the Appellate Division both defendants argued, among other things, that the trial court erred, as a matter of law, in denying their challenge for cause to excuse a venireman from the jury. The Appellate Division held that the denial of the challenge for cause constituted reversible error under CPL 270.20 (subd 1, par [c]), reversed the judgments of conviction and remanded for a new trial. This case presents a novel question of statutory interpretation.
