The governor's nominee for Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, Rowan Wilson, was voted through the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday after enduring a far lower-key hearing than the prior nominee, Hector LaSalle.

But Wilson said it was a matter of constitutional rights, not of guilty vs. innocent, chastising the local DA and drawing a comparison to the landmark 1966 Supreme Court decision, which reversed a rapist’s conviction but enshrined in law that defendants being interrogated must be read their constitutional rights, now known ubiquitously as Miranda rights.

Another recent case Wilson touched upon was that of Happy the Elephant, whom animal rights activists sought to have released from the Bronx Zoo to a sanctuary on the grounds she was being unlawfully detained. The Court of Appealson the grounds of habeas corpus, against Wilson’s dissent — the longest in the history of the Court of Appeals.
