People v. Wilson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 12, 1994
210 A.D.2d 363 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

December 12, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (McInerney, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the trial court's identification charge was adequate (see, People v Whalen, 59 N.Y.2d 273; People v Rivera, 207 A.D.2d 420). The Trial Judge was not bound to use the specific language requested by the defendant and the charge, read as a whole, adequately apprised the jury of the governing legal principles (see, People v Calderon, 182 A.D.2d 770; People v Dengler, 109 A.D.2d 847).

The defendant's contention that the court erred by failing to marshal the evidence is unpreserved for appellate review (CPL 470.05). In any event, the defendant's contention is without merit. The court need not marshal the evidence except to the extent necessary to explain the application of the law to the facts of the case (CPL 300.10; People v Saunders, 64 N.Y.2d 665, 667; People v Williamson, 40 N.Y.2d 1073, 1074). Nor is the court required to explain all the contentions of the parties or outline all the inconsistencies in the evidence (People v Saunders, supra). The instant case did not involve complex factual and legal issues; thus, the court did not err in failing to marshal the evidence (see, People v Saunders, supra; People v Filardi, 203 A.D.2d 301).

We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Sullivan, J.P., Rosenblatt, Miller and Ritter, JJ., concur.
