People v. Smith

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

226 A.D.2d 258 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

April 23, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Daniel FitzGerald, J.).


Defendant's claim that he was deprived of a fair trial by the undercover officer's testimony that prerecorded buy money is not recovered in 50% of buy and bust cases, and by the prosecutor's use of this testimony in summation to support an argument that defendant was a sophisticated drug dealer, is unpreserved for appellate review as a matter of law (CPL 470.05), and we decline to review it in the interest of justice.

Concur — Rosenberger, J.P., Wallach, Rubin, Kupferman and Tom, JJ.
