People v. Washington

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 30, 1989
150 A.D.2d 820 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

May 30, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Richmond County, Felig, J., Kuffner, J.


Ordered that the judgment and amended judgment are affirmed.

To the extent that the issues raised by the defendant are preserved for appellate review as a matter of law, we find no merit to his claims that the prosecutor's cross-examination of him and the prosecutor's summation, both of which concerned the defendant's prior criminal history, deprived him of a fair trial. Further, the defendant's challenge to the trial court's charge is unpreserved for appellate review. We decline to review the claimed unpreserved errors in the interest of justice.

Finally, we find no basis for modification of the sentence imposed under either indictment (see, People v Klein, 126 A.D.2d 670; People v Jackson, 106 A.D.2d 93). Brown, J.P., Lawrence, Kunzeman and Kooper, JJ., concur.
