Description
[66 N.Y.2d 374 Page 376] Opinion OF THE COURT On this appeal, we must determine whether the prosecutor's questioning of the primary defense witness about his religious beliefs and his decision to affirm, rather than swear, to the truth of his testimony constitutes reversible error. While we decline to hold that such questioning constitutes error per se, we hold that, except under extraordinary circumstances, it must be deemed sufficiently prejudicial to require a new trial, at least where the trial judge fails to give a prompt and clear corrective instruction.
