Opinion
April 26, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Edward McLaughlin, J.).
Defendant's motion to suppress statements was properly denied. The hearing court, whose factual findings are entitled to great weight (People v Leonti, 18 N.Y.2d 384, 390, cert denied 389 U.S. 1007; People v Benitez, 162 A.D.2d 100, 101), properly found that there was no evidence of interrogation prior to defendant having been given the Miranda warnings, and defendant's argument to the contrary rests entirely on speculation.
