People v. Hilton

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 26, 1996
224 A.D.2d 716 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

February 26, 1996

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

On appeal, the defendant claims that reversal is warranted because the prosecution used a majority of its peremptory challenges to excuse women jurors on the venire. At trial, the defendant made a Batson application on the basis that the prosecution was excluding young white women on the venire. Because the defendant failed to raise the specific claim he now argues, it is unpreserved for appellate review (see, People v Stephens, 84 N.Y.2d 990), and in any event, it is without merit.

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Bracken, J.P., Rosenblatt, Miller and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
