Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Pursuant to the Court of Appeals ruling in People v. Rosario, the prosecution is required to provide the defense with prior statements of a prosecution witness relating to the subject of that witness's testimony. Subsequent courts have ruled that this includes notes made by law enforcement officials including assistant district attorneys. However, most assistant district attorneys know this court ruling and specially refrain from taking notes during an interview. The prosecutor is not required to turn over any notes until just before that particular witness, the person taking the notes, is to testify at any hearing or trial. I must advise you that the charges against you are very serious and can subject you to a period of imprisonment, as while as having serious consequences relative to your future parental rights. I would strongly advise you to seek the services of an experience attorney.
