People v. Garcia

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 1, 1985
110 A.D.2d 659 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

April 1, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Tomei, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

Having reviewed the record before us, we conclude that Criminal Term's denial of defendant's motion to suppress physical evidence should not be disturbed on appeal. The evidence was properly recovered during a search incident to a lawful arrest based upon probable cause. Furthermore, in view of defense counsel's repeated accusations during summation that the prosecution witnesses had fabricated their story, the prosecutor's remarks in her summation were a fair response and did not prejudice the defendant ( see, People v. Marks, 6 N.Y.2d 67, 77, cert denied 362 U.S. 912). We have considered and find no merit in the additional contentions raised by defendant. Thompson, J.P. Bracken, O'Connor and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
