Criminal Appeals Clinic October 2007 – Students in the Criminal Appeals Clinic–Manhattan District Attorney, under the supervision of Assistant DA Deborah L. Morse ’80, argued three cases before a five-judge panel of the Appellate Division, First Department during the January 2007 term. To prepare, they wrote briefs and conducted numerous individual and group moot courts, including one before several Manhattan assistant district attorneys. The students were “sworn in” by Manhattan DA Robert M. Morgenthau as “student assistant district attorneys” for purposes of the oral argument. All three convictions were affirmed Christopher Prior ’07 rebutted an ineffective assistance of counsel claim in a case that involved a defendant who had been convicted of bail jumping and sentenced to the maximum permissible term. Sabrina Thanse ’07 won an appeal by a defendant who was convicted of criminal sexual act in the first degree. And Jennifer Kim ’07 argued a case in which the defendant was convicted of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree and petit larceny. Kim successfully argued against a claim by the defendant, who used a knife to escape after shoplifting more than $300 of merchandise from Macy’s Herald Square store, that he lacked intent to use the knife.
