Does defendant have a right to stand trial at the same time as the other defendant?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Barry, 58 Misc.3d 144 (A), 93 N.Y.S.3d 627 (Table) (N.Y. App. Term 2017):
Moreover, defendant's case was not scheduled for trial the same day, and there is no indication that defendant even understood that he had a right to trial, at which the People had to prove their case against him beyond a reasonable doubt (compare People v. Sanchez , 26 NY3d 375, 380 [2015] ). As indicated, the lower court made no reference to defendant's right to trial, at all.
