Not told of rights retrial granted for 18 year old
An 18 year old man will be granted a new trial before Peace Justice Charles J Dassori of Wawayanda after claiming he lacked counsel when he pleaded guilty to petty larceny. Douglas J Stortz also granted a new trial after pleading guilty and paying a $15 fine. The affidavits suggest Dassori acted in light of a recent U S Supreme Court decision on suspects rights. Stortz alleges arrest by Mitchell P Yanik on May 19 and that he was not represented and did not know counsel could be assigned. He says he was nervous upset and under mental strain during the proceedings.
