Description
The judgment of conviction was properly reversed and a new trial granted by the Appellate Division on account of the admission in evidence of the statement by defendant taken at the police station after his law firm had contacted the police (24 A.D.2d 7). The misleading answer given by the Chief of Detectives that there was nothing wrong and no need for a lawyer threw defense counsel off guard, and the consequence is the same as though the police had been instructed by an attorney for defendant that he was not to be interrogated in the absence of counsel (People v. Gunner, 15 N.Y.2d 226; People v. Donovan, 13 N.Y.2d 148; People v. Sanchez, 15 N.Y.2d 387).
