Opinion
August 2, 1999.
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Erlbaum, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that the trial court erred in permitting the People to introduce the defendant's Grand Jury testimony into evidence on their rebuttal case. We disagree. In light of the inconsistencies between the defendant's Grand Jury testimony and the account furnished by his alibi witnesses at trial, the defendant's Grand Jury testimony was properly introduced as an admission ( see, People v. Rodriguez, 191 A.D.2d 597; People v. Koestler, 176 A.D.2d 1207).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
O'Brien, J. P., Sullivan, Joy and Smith, JJ., concur.
