People v. Conwell

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Dec 21, 1990
168 A.D.2d 906 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

December 21, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Rossetti, J.

Present — Callahan, J.P., Doerr, Boomer, Pine and Lawton, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The issues raised by defendant on appeal lack merit. The court, in this prosecution for criminal possession and criminal sale of a controlled substance, did not abuse its discretion in ruling that the prosecutor could cross-examine defendant concerning his convictions for burglary, larceny, and criminal trespass. Defendant did not preserve for appellate review his contention that the court erred in its charge on identification testimony. The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490). The suppression court properly admitted the identification testimony of the undercover officer as a confirmatory viewing (see, People v. Morales, 37 N.Y.2d 262). Finally, we decline to dismiss the noninclusory concurrent count of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree.
