People v. Hazel

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 18, 1994
203 A.D.2d 478 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

April 18, 1994

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

We find unpersuasive the defendant's contention that he was denied a fair trial owing to the introduction at trial of prior uncharged crimes. Although this testimony related to the defendant's involvement in drug trafficking, it was admissible to prove his identity and to complete the narrative of events (see, People v Henry, 166 A.D.2d 720; People v Hardwick, 140 A.D.2d 624, 625).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Balletta, J.P., Rosenblatt, Ritter and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
