Description
[41 N.Y.2d 97 Page 98] After pleading guilty the defendant was convicted of possession of a weapon as a felony (Penal Law, former ร§ 265.05) and of resisting arrest. Thereafter, when he appeared for sentencing he sought to withdraw his guilty plea. The application was denied and he was sentenced to an indeterminate prison term of up to seven years on the weapons charge and to an unconditional discharge on the charge of resisting arrest. On this appeal the defendant contends, inter alia, that the trial court was in error in refusing to suppress, after a hearing, the weapon in question and certain incriminating statements made by the defendant out of the presence of his attorney after counsel had been assigned.
