People v. McCaskell

In People v. McCaskell, 217 AD2d 527, 528-529, 630 N.Y.S.2d 66 [1st Dept 1995], a claim that alleged that a similar stipulation resulted in defendant's unknowing, involuntary, unintelligent right of confrontation was rejected as "utterly unreasonable." Moreover, because laboratory reports are business records, in the absence of the stipulation, the People could have called either of the chemists to testify, or any knowledgeable supervisor in the NYPD laboratory.
