Opinion
March 17, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Mary McGowan Davis, J.).
Defendant's motion to suppress evidence was properly denied, since defendant's statements were not the product of custodial interrogation ( see, People v. Li, 235 A.D.2d 211, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 1037; People v. Centano, 153 A.D.2d 494, affd 76 N.Y.2d 837; People v. Yukl, 25 N.Y.2d 585). The record, including evidence of defendant's voluntary accompaniment of the detectives and the conversational, non-accusatory nature of the discussion, amply supports the hearing court's findings.
