People v. Keindl

In People v. Keindl, 68 NY2d 410, the Court of Appeals dismissed various counts of an indictment charging defendant with sodomy and sexual abuse committed against his three stepchildren during periods of 10, 12 and 16 months. In doing so, the Court pointed to its decision in People v. Morris, where "we made it clear that the interval ascribed for a particular crime may be so excessive that, on its face, it is unreasonable and dismissal should follow." (68 NY2d at 419.)
