People v. Ramirez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 8, 1993
198 A.D.2d 310 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

November 8, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County, Cohen, J., Yoswein, J.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

We reject the defendant's claim that the showup conducted by the police was suggestive because it was conducted minutes after the robbery and only two blocks away from the scene of the crime (see, People v Fleury, 106 A.D.2d 460; People v Brnja, 70 A.D.2d 17). We also note that while some of the prosecutor's comments in the summation, and the court's ruling that any Trowbridge issue (see, People v Trowbridge, 305 N.Y. 471) applies only to police testimony, were improper, the errors in that regard were harmless in view of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see, People v Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Bracken, J.P., Rosenblatt, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
