People v. Barash

Judgment of conviction of the County Court of Queens county reversed on the law and a new trial ordered on authority of People v. Essner (post, p. 1010), decided herewith. We have examined the record and find no error as to the facts. Young, Kapper and Tompkins, JJ., concur; Lazansky, P. J., and Hagarty, J., concur upon the ground that it was error to admit testimony that this defendant had pleaded guilty in another court to a crime, in view of the fact that Ms credibility was not in issue.
