People v. Martinez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 11, 1991
171 A.D.2d 760 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

March 11, 1991

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant argues that the court erred in admitting into evidence certain hearsay testimony. The defendant's objection to the receipt of that evidence did not preserve his claim for appellate review, since the objection did not specifically question the admissibility upon the ground of hearsay (see, CPL 470.05; People v Love, 57 N.Y.2d 1023; People v McCorkle, 119 A.D.2d 700, 701; People v Cooper, 147 A.D.2d 926; Richardson, Evidence § 538 [Prince 10th ed]). We decline to exercise our interest of justice jurisdiction to review the claim.

Finally, the sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Thompson, J.P., Kunzeman, Sullivan and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
