Court of Appeals of New York
People v. Taveras, 30, 31
Dismissal of appeals from convictions and sentences imposed "in absentia" upon capturing defendants after years of absence is affirmed where there was no abuse of discretion in dismissing the appeals which would allow the government to suffer prejudice in locating key witnesses to crimes and retrying a case after several years.
