People v. Finnigan

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 22, 1996
229 A.D.2d 547 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

July 22, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Goldstein, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's claim that reversal is warranted because the Supreme Court erroneously allowed opinion testimony regarding the ultimate issue of fact is unpreserved for appellate review. The defense counsel simply made general objections to the challenged testimony and failed to advise the trial court that the present claimed error was the basis for his objections ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Clarke, 81 N.Y.2d 777, 778; People v. Udzinski, 146 A.D.2d 245).

The defendant's contention that the prosecutor's comments during summation warrant reversal is also unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05). We decline to exercise our interest of justice jurisdiction to review these issues ( see, CPL 470.15) O'Brien, J.P., Sullivan, Joy and McGinity, JJ., concur.
