People v. Green

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 13, 1992
186 A.D.2d 675 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

October 13, 1992

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contentions, we find that the court properly permitted the arresting officer to testify as to another witness's prior identification of the defendant as the perpetrator of the crime charged herein (see, CPL 60.25).

Furthermore, although the prosecutor improperly placed the defendant in the position of having to suggest that several of the People's witnesses were lying, the error was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see, People v Alongi, 150 A.D.2d 469).

The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Thompson, J.P., Rosenblatt, Lawrence and Ritter, JJ., concur.
