Court of Appeals of New York

In criminal jury trial where one juror became ill and court granted defendant's request to continue with the 11 remaining jurors, defendant's written waiver of his right to a jury of 12 citizens in open court was valid as article I, section 2 of the state constitution permits a defendant to consent to a deliberating jury of less than 12 individuals.
