People v. Francis

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 1, 1988
137 A.D.2d 553 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

February 1, 1988

Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Colabella, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The contentions of error raised by the defendant concerning the trial court's instructions to the jury are either unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v Nuccie, 57 N.Y.2d 818) or are without merit (see, CPL 60.35; People v Carroll, 37 A.D.2d 1015; see, People v Moses, 63 N.Y.2d 299; People v Reddy, 261 N.Y. 479). Moreover, any alleged error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt due to the overwhelming nature of the evidence adduced at trial (see, People v Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230). Mollen, P.J., Thompson, Lawrence and Eiber, JJ., concur.
