People v. Cooper

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 26, 1996
233 A.D.2d 267 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

November 26, 1996.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (James Yates, J.), rendered October 4, 1994, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of attempted robbery in the first degree, and sentencing him, as a second violent felony offender, to a term of 7 to 14 years, unanimously affirmed.

Before: Sullivan, J.P., Rosenberger, Kupferman, Williams and Andrias, JJ.


Defendant raised no objection to the court's "two inference" instruction and, thus, his current claim is unpreserved as a matter of law ( People v Brown, 220 AD2d 250, lv denied 87 NY2d 898). Moreover, there was no possibility of confusion where, immediately preceding the challenged portion of the charge, the jurors were instructed that defendant was "entitled to every inference in his favor which can reasonably be drawn from the evidence."
