People v. Jones

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
May 9, 1996
227 A.D.2d 195 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

May 9, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Richard Andrias, J.).


There is no basis for disturbing the hearing court's factual findings that defendant consented to a search of his office, and that his consent was not obtained by coercion ( see, People v Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759, 761). The verdict was supported by legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence ( People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495).

The value of the shoes stolen from the complainant and possessed by defendant was properly determined by replacement value, which was stipulated to be over $1,000. Market value was inapplicable because there was no established retail market for the items in question, used shoes, and it could not be determined how much the items would sell for in the regular course of business (Penal Law § 155.20; cf., People v Irrizari, 5 N.Y.2d 142, 146; People v. Alicea, 25 N.Y.2d 685).

Defendant was not entitled to specification in a bill of particulars as to what crime he intended to commit in the premises when he entered unlawfully ( People v. Mackey, 49 N.Y.2d 274, 278-281). In any event, defendant does not deny that he knew from the outset that the People's theory was that he entered complainant's apartment with the intent to commit larceny. We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
