Opinion
March 23, 1998
Appeal from the County Court, Dutchess County (Dolan, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the court properly admitted into evidence five photographs of the homicide victim: one depicting a distant shot of the victim, and the remaining four depicting the bullet wounds to the victim's head and hand. The photographs, which were not cumulative, were admitted to illustrate and corroborate the testimony of the People's key witness and the testimony of the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy on the victim (see, People v. Pobliner, 32 N.Y.2d 356, 369, cert. denied 416 U.S. 905; People v. Stevens, 76 N.Y.2d 833; People v. Dellemand, 205 A.D.2d 551; People v. Cruz, 176 A.D.2d 953).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
Santucci, J. P., Joy, Friedmann and McGinity, JJ., concur.
