Description
In the course of the 15-day jury trial of these defendants, which resulted in their convictions of manslaughter in the first degree, the unwarranted, persistent intrusion by the presiding Justice in the proceedings deprived defendants of the fair trial to which they were entitled. Not only did the court ask over 1,300 questions of the witnesses, which constituted more than a third of the total number of questions propounded during the entire trial, he also usurped the authority both of the prosecutor and of defense counsel to determine the content, course and manner of their presentations. His elicitation from expert witnesses of extended elaboration of their testimony, his solicitation of objection by the prosecution to interrogation being pursued by defense counsel, and his extraction from a prosecution witness during cross-examination of a drawing made on the witness stand on the courts instruction and then received in evidence as an exhibit of the People, coupled with the nature and extent of questions addressed to alibi witnesses by way of cross-examination which clearly conveyed the Judges skepticism as to those witnesses credibility, compounded the unfairness that marked the judicial proceeding.
