Opinion
March 30, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Flaherty, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's claim that the court improperly admitted evidence of uncharged bad acts is without merit. Since the defendant's statement to the robbery victim during the course of the crime was inextricably interwoven with the acts constituting that crime, the admission of the evidence was proper ( see, People v. Ventigmilia, 52 N.Y.2d 350; People v. Vails, 43 N.Y.2d 364; People v. Chu-Joi, 239 A.D.2d 596). The defendant's contention with respect to the court's charge regarding the limited use of the above evidence is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Udzinski, 146 A.D.2d 245).
