People v. Clinding

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 18, 1991
177 A.D.2d 639 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

November 18, 1991

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the contention of the defendant, the hearing court did not err in finding that the witnesses' in-court identifications were supported by an independent source. The record reveals that both witnesses had ample opportunity to observe the defendant at close proximity during her commission of the crime, her struggle with the complainant, and her flight from security officers (see, People v. Rivera, 22 N.Y.2d 453, cert denied 395 U.S. 964; People v. Williams, 156 A.D.2d 497; People v Johnson, 146 A.D.2d 587).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Mangano, P.J., Harwood, Eiber and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
