Opinion
April 20, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Budd Goodman, J.).
The jury's verdict was not based on insufficient evidence, nor was it against the weight of the evidence (People v Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490). Factors affecting the reliability of the identifications made by the undercover and "ghost" officers, such as lighting conditions, were properly presented to the jury for its consideration, and we see no reason to disturb its findings (People v Diaz, 197 A.D.2d 379, lv denied 82 N.Y.2d 893).
When the hearing court suppressed physical evidence recovered from defendant, it was under no duty to concomitantly suppress identification testimony, absent a specific request by defendant. Although defendant's written omnibus motion included a clause requesting suppression of identification testimony on Fourth Amendment grounds, defendant abandoned that issue by failing to call it to the court's attention at the hearing (see, People v Rodriguez, 50 N.Y.2d 553). Moreover, the Fourth Amendment issues in this case regarding physical evidence and identification were not identical, since a suspect may be detained for identification on a lesser showing than probable cause (People v Hicks, 68 N.Y.2d 234).
