People v. Weatherspoon

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jun 5, 1992
184 A.D.2d 1062 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

June 5, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Onondaga County, Gorman, J.

Present — Boomer, J.P., Balio, Lawton, Fallon and Doerr, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The trial court did not err in permitting the People to present rebuttal evidence concerning an uncharged crime. Defendant testified in detail concerning the uncharged matter in an attempt to establish the defenses of agency and entrapment. The rebuttal testimony controverted affirmative facts relating to the agency defense and thus was properly admitted (see, People v. Harris, 57 N.Y.2d 335, 345, cert denied 460 U.S. 1047). The court properly denied defendant's request for a missing witness charge because the proposed testimony of that witness would have been cumulative (see, People v. Weatherspoon, 167 A.D.2d 865, 866).
