People v. Brooks

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 1, 1985
110 A.D.2d 650 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

April 1, 1985

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Vaughn, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

We agree with the trial court's determination, after a Huntley hearing, that defendant's oral admissions of guilt and a written statement made to the police were admissible in evidence. There is no evidence in the record to indicate that the statements were obtained by the police in violation of defendant's rights ( People v. Huffman, 41 N.Y.2d 29, 34; People v. Burnett, 99 A.D.2d 786, 787; People v. Winchell, 98 A.D.2d 838).

Also, the sentencing court exercised sound discretion in imposing upon defendant an indeterminate term of from 8 1/3 to 25 years' imprisonment. Accordingly, there is no basis to disturb its determination ( People v. Colon, 91 A.D.2d 641; People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Thompson, J.P., Bracken, O'Connor and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
