People v. Sandy

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 2, 1992
187 A.D.2d 466 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

November 2, 1992

Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Wexner, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Three of the victims of the robberies from which the above charges arose tentatively identified the .38 caliber pistol which was recovered from the codefendant at the time of his arrest as the weapon used. Nevertheless, one witness tentatively identified the .25 caliber pistol found near the defendant at the time of his arrest as the weapon. Thus, there was an adequate connection between the gun, the defendant, and the crime, to admit the .25 caliber pistol into evidence. Uncertainties as to the identification of the gun go to its weight, not to its admissibility as evidence (see, People v Miller, 17 N.Y.2d 559; People v Craig, 155 A.D.2d 550).

We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, and find them to be without merit. Mangano, P.J., Sullivan, Balletta and Miller, JJ., concur.
