People v. Aiken

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 8, 1993
190 A.D.2d 740 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

February 8, 1993

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15).

The defendant's contention that he was deprived of a fair trial by reason of the trial court's failure to give an alibi charge is not preserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v Lassiter, 161 A.D.2d 669), and we decline to reach the issue in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction.

Moreover, although the People failed to give the proper statutory notice of their intention to introduce Detective Mott's identification testimony at trial (see, CPL 710.30), since a full and fair Wade hearing was held prior to trial, after which the branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress identification testimony was denied, Detective Mott's identification testimony was properly admitted at the trial (see, People v White, 118 A.D.2d 886).

The defendant's remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review, and, in any event, without merit. Bracken, J.P., Balletta, Eiber and Copertino, JJ., concur.
