People v. Acosta

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 1, 1990
166 A.D.2d 452 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

October 1, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Rienzi, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court did not err when it refused to charge the jury on the defense of entrapment. The evidence discloses that the defendant was predisposed toward selling cocaine to an undercover police officer, and that the police did not induce the defendant's conduct (see, Penal Law § 40.05; People v Alwadish, 67 N.Y.2d 973, 974).

We also find that the sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Bracken, J.P., Brown, Kunzeman and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
