Oneonta Knapp case tests limits of right to counsel
In Oneonta a confrontation between public demand for swift justice and legal safeguards grows as the New York Court of Appeals orders a new trial for Ricky Knapp. The dissenting judges urged an emergency exception to the counsel rule, while residents and the Velzy family decry the ruling as a loophole. Knapp, convicted of second degree murder in 1978, may face a new trial in August.
