People v. Slocum

In People v. Slocum (NYLJ, May 13, 2002, at 26, col 6 [Watertown City Ct]) the court had ruled that, in an extradition waiver case, the "arrest" referred to in CPL 180.80 was the detention of the defendant by the sister state authorities and thus the defendant's "180.80" rights had accrued upon this detention. In substance, the court concluded that the "arrest" for "180.80" purposes was indistinguishable from the "arrest" authorized in CPL 570.32 and 570.34 (Uniform Criminal Extradition Act, hereinafter UCEA). The court ordered the release of the defendant pursuant to CPL 180.80.
