Happy Saint Patrick’s Day from Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. DID YOU KNOW? In People v. Aroca, 2023 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 1119, *7, 11 (Supreme Ct. of New York, Queens Cnty., 3/17/2023), the court considered whether the prosecutor’s questioning about the date of the accident—St. Patrick’s Day—was an inappropriate invitation for the jury to speculate that the defendant had been drinking that day. The court determined that the witness had already established the time and date of the crash and did not need reference to a holiday to trigger her memory. The court also explained that there was no evidence suggesting the defendant was associated with any events or persons associated with the holiday. Thus, there was “no legitimate reason for the prosecutor to raise the date of St. Patrick’s Day…but to evoke the stereotypical association of excessive consumption of alcohol on St. Patrick’s Day” and to suggest to the Grand Jury that the defendant was also drinking that day. Interestingly, the court opinion also came out on St. Patrick’s Day a year after the incident! #bes #bragareagelandsquire #johnbrandonwalker #trivia #stpatricksday
