People v. James

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 1, 1994
201 A.D.2d 272 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

February 1, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Jay Gold, J.).


Defendants' motions to suppress identification testimony were properly denied, each defendant having been identified at a prompt, at-the-scene showup (see, People v. Duuvon, 77 N.Y.2d 541, 545), and the defendants having been apprehended in a stolen taxi.

The challenged portions of the People's summation did not exceed the bounds of proper advocacy (People v. Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396, 399), and would, in any event, be considered harmless in view of the overwhelming evidence of guilt.

Contrary to Page's contention, his sentence was not excessive, especially in view of his reprehensible conduct during the crime.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Ellerin, Kupferman, Rubin and Tom, JJ.
