People v. Chessman

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 5, 1987
133 A.D.2d 644 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

October 5, 1987

Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Delin, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Suppression of the defendant's confession was properly denied in the absence of any credible evidence that it was the product of coercion or false promises by law enforcement personnel (see, People v. Armstead, 98 A.D.2d 726). The record herein fails to support the defendant's contentions that his guilt was not proved beyond a reasonable doubt and that his counsel's assistance was inadequate. The proof of defendant's guilt was overwhelming and his counsel's assistance was meaningful (see, People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137). Thompson, J.P., Bracken, Niehoff and Harwood, JJ., concur.
