People State New York v. Gerald Kelly by Supreme Court of New York Book Summary

Appeal by defendant from an order of the Children's Court of Clinton County entered after a trial in a proceeding instituted pursuant to section 122 of the Domestic Relations Law which adjudged him to be the father, directed him to reimburse complainant for expenditures incurred in connection with the pregnancy, confinement and recovery, prescribed the support and expenses to be paid by him and the nature and amount of the security to be furnished. A resolution of the issues involved depended upon the credibility to be accorded the testimony of the parties and of other witnesses which was in sharp conflict. On this record we would not be justified in substituting our judgment for that of the Trial Judge who has had the advantage of seeing and hearing the witnesses. On motion of defendant a blood grouping test was performed which did not definitely exclude him as the father of the child. (Domestic Relations Law, § 126-a.) The record discloses that the court in the course of the trial announced this result, submitted the report of the test to counsel for examination and thereafter, without comment or objection, made it a part of the record. Nothing further was said or done about it. The conductor of the test was not sworn as a witness. There is no reason to believe that the court gave the result evidentiary consideration. In fact, its formal order, read literally, indicates to the contrary. On this record we cannot say that the procedure adopted by the trial court, apparently with the consent of appellant, was error. Disposition Order affirmed, with costs to the respondent.
