PEOPLE v. THASA

Court of Appeals of the State of New York.
Apr 25, 1973

Order affirmed in the following memorandum: The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed on the ground that there is ample support for the affirmed findings of fact that the defendant was incapable of understanding or waiving constitutional rights accorded him by Miranda (see Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436) and that the People failed to prove the voluntariness of the defendant's confession beyond a reasonable doubt (see, e.g., People v. Valerius, 31 N.Y.2d 51, 55). We pass on no other question.

Concur: Chief Judge FULD and Judges BURKE, BREITEL, JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES and WACHTLER.
