Opinion
January 9, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Koch, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the admission of testimony concerning his post-arrest threats to the arresting police officers does not constitute error as a matter of law (see, People v. Brown, 83 N.Y.2d 791). Under the circumstances of this case, the trial court properly admitted the evidence complained of to show the defendant's intent in committing the underlying assaultive acts, as well as his consciousness of guilt (see, People v. Leitzsey, 173 A.D.2d 488; People v. Liberatore, 167 A.D.2d 425; People v. Whaley, 144 A.D.2d 510; People v. Jones, 124 A.D.2d 749; People v. Barksdale, 100 A.D.2d 852).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Sullivan, J.P., Thompson, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
