Terence Leander Kindlon's Legal Cases (2)

Civil rights

Anna O. v. State of New York

Jan 01, 2013

OUTCOME: Verdict for Plaintiff

Anna, a client of Kindlon Shanks & Associates, was raped by a prison guard at Albion State Prison in Orleans County. Anna won one of the largest verdicts on record in New York involving prison-abuse al ... legations. Court of Claims Judge Philip Patti ordered the state to pay $605,750, since her rapist was already under investigation for illicit behavior with prisoners and the state "had notice of [the guard's] propensity to pursue unauthorized relationships with inmates and yet left him in the position to continue to pursue the same."

Criminal defense

People v. Scott

Jan 01, 1992

OUTCOME: Lower Court decision reversed; suppression granted, indictment dismissed.

In a landmark ruling, the Court of Appeals held that the privacy interests of landowners are given greater protections under the New York State Constitution than under the US Constitution. As the sear ... ch was in violation of the greater protections afforded by the State, the search warrant in question was obtained improperly and thus a nullity.
