178 A.D.2d 617 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

December 23, 1991

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Vaughn, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court's reliance on hearsay evidence at the suppression hearing was specifically authorized by CPL 710.60 (4). In addition, the trial court did not err by explaining to the jurors what evidence might corroborate an accomplice's testimony (see, People v Baker, 23 N.Y.2d 307, 325, remittitur amended 23 N.Y.2d 848; People v Horton, 19 A.D.2d 80, 85-86, affd 18 N.Y.2d 355, remittitur amended 19 N.Y.2d 600, cert denied 387 U.S. 934; see also, 1 CJI[NY] 7.53, at 343). Mangano, P.J., Kunzeman, Eiber and Balletta, JJ., concur.
