People v. Clark

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Apr 11, 1991
172 A.D.2d 253 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

April 11, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Murray Mogel, J.).


Defendant was convicted for snatching a chain and medallion from the neck of a 73 year old man. While the victim's opportunity to observe the defendant was brief, the identification was not thereby rendered unreliable. (People v Gonzalez, 61 A.D.2d 666, affd 46 N.Y.2d 1011.) The complainant was certain that defendant was the man who took his chain. Furthermore, police officers observed the victim chase the defendant down the street and recover his chain and medallion from between two parked cars along defendant's attempted route of escape, all of which provided sufficient identification evidence.

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Milonas, Ellerin, Ross and Rubin, JJ.
