People v. Taylor

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 23, 1987
134 A.D.2d 543 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

November 23, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Gallagher, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

While the police officer's trial testimony may have unfairly bolstered the complainant's identification of the defendant (see, People v. Trowbridge, 305 N.Y. 471), we conclude that this error was harmless. A review of the record reveals that the evidence of identity was so strong that there was no significant issue on this point (see, People v. Johnson, 57 N.Y.2d 969; People v. Mobley, 56 N.Y.2d 584; People v. Williams, 109 A.D.2d 906).

We find no merit to the other contention raised by the defendant. Brown, J.P., Eiber, Kunzeman and Spatt, JJ., concur.
