PEOPLE V. WEISS
276 N.Y. 384, 12 N.E.2d 514 (1938)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction for kidnapping.
FACTS: Weiss (D) and others assisted a New Jersey detective in the investigation of the
Lindbergh murder case. D helped the detective seize a defendant in order to extort a
confession from him. D claimed that the detective had assured D that all of this activity
was within the law. D was charged with kidnapping. At trial, the court excluded evidence
that the detective had told D that he had the authority to make the arrest. The trial judge
held that good faith was no defense to the charge of kidnapping. D was convicted and
appealed.
