People v. Francis

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 4, 1999
265 A.D.2d 341 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

Submitted June 21, 1999

October 4, 1999

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Spires, J.).


ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court properly precluded the defendant from using the Grand Jury testimony of the undercover officer to impeach that officer at trial. The Grand Jury minutes demonstrate that the officer was not specifically questioned as to the subject matter that was to be the basis of the impeachment ( see, People v. Bornholdt, 33 N.Y.2d 75, 88-89, cert denied sub nom. Victory v. New York, 416 U.S. 905; People v. Gonzalez, 244 A.D.2d 422, 423).

The remaining claims of prosecutorial misconduct are unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, are without merit.

JOY, J.P., KRAUSMAN, H. MILLER, and FEUERSTEIN, JJ., concur.
