People v. Cornwall

121 A.D.2d 735 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

June 30, 1986

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Pincus, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

The defendant effectuated a knowing and intelligent waiver of his Miranda rights, and his contention that his waiver was obtained through trickery and coercive tactics is not borne out by the record. The defendant's claim that the verdict convicting him of manslaughter in the first degree for the killing of Calvin Wignall and murder in the second degree for the killing of Beverly Wignall is repugnant and inconsistent has not been preserved for review as a matter of law (see, People v Satloff, 56 N.Y.2d 745; People v. Stahl, 53 N.Y.2d 1048). In any event, his claim is without merit as he was convicted of two separate crimes which involved the killings of two victims occurring at two different locations under different circumstances (see, People v. Crutchfield, 111 A.D.2d 346). Lazer, J.P., Bracken, Kooper and Spatt, JJ., concur.
