People v. Brown

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 5, 1998
247 A.D.2d 221 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

Decided February 5, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (John Bradley, J.).


The court properly precluded defendant from introducing extrinsic evidence of an alleged prior inconsistent statement made by the complainant concerning a purely collateral matter (see, People v. Duncan, 46 N.Y.2d 74, cert denied 442 U.S. 910). Defendant's remaining claims are unpreserved and we decline to review them in the interest of justice. Were we to review these claims, we would find them to be without merit. We note that the complainant's allegedly inconsistent statement was disclosed to defendant in a timely fashion and that there was no prosecutorial misconduct in connection therewith (see, People v. Fisher, 244 A.D.2d 191; People v. Kitchen, 162 A.D.2d 178, lv denied 76 N.Y.2d 941).
