People v. Acero

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Mar 9, 1993
191 A.D.2d 218 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

March 9, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Frederic Berman, J.).


Defendant was identified by the complainant and his cousin as the one who robbed him of his jewelry at gunpoint. Additional testimony by the police officer which was claimed by the defendant to be improper bolstering is deemed harmless (People v Cruz, 179 A.D.2d 529, 530, revd on other grounds 81 N.Y.2d 738) and, in any event, the issue has not been preserved as a matter of law for appeal (People v. Russell, 71 N.Y.2d 1016). Defendant's remaining claims are also unpreserved, and were we to review them in the interest of justice, they would not warrant reversal, given the overwhelming evidence of guilt.

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Rosenberger, Asch and Rubin, JJ.
