People v. Inocencio

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 28, 1991
173 A.D.2d 732 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

May 28, 1991

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that reversal is required because the allegations of the indictment and bill of particulars supplied by the People varied materially from the evidence adduced by the prosecution at trial. However, inasmuch as the defendant voiced no objection or exception to this alleged error in the trial court, he has failed to preserve the issue for appellate review (see, People v Udzinski, 146 A.D.2d 245; People v Prato, 143 A.D.2d 205). Moreover, the record demonstrates that the defendant suffered no prejudice as a result of the alleged error, inasmuch as he made no claim of surprise when the trial evidence was presented and sought no adjournment to better prepare a defense thereto (cf., People v Roberts, 72 N.Y.2d 489); hence, we decline to reach the issue in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction.

Viewing the evidence adduced at trial, which included eyewitness testimony, circumstantial evidence, and the defendant's own inculpatory statements, in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15).

We have considered the defendant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit (see, People v Bing, 76 N.Y.2d 331). Kunzeman, J.P., Sullivan, Lawrence and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
