People v. March

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 29, 1997
242 A.D.2d 740 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

September 29, 1997

Appeal from Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Mullen, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, for further proceedings pursuant to CPL 460.50 (5).

The defendant's challenges to remarks made by the prosecutor during summation are unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Santiago, 52 N.Y.2d 865). The defendant's argument that the court erred in delivering a "no adverse inference" charge is likewise unpreserved for appellate review (CPL 470.05; People v. Autry, 75 N.Y.2d 836; People v. Vereen, 45 N.Y.2d 856; People v. Robinson, 220 A.D.2d 465). The defendant's attorney, who had consented to the inclusion of a "no adverse inference" charge in the court's preliminary instructions, took no exceptions to the inclusion of this charge upon the court's completion of its final charge. In light of the circumstances of this case, we decline to review these claims in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction.

The defendant's remaining arguments, to the extent they have been preserved for appellate review, are meritless.

Bracken, J.P., Copertino, Santucci and McGinity, JJ., concur.
