People v. Lawrence

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 26, 1998
254 A.D.2d 502 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

October 26, 1998

Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Sise, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

We agree with the hearing court's determination that suppression of the handgun was not required. In addition, any prejudice which may have resulted from the prosecutor's summation was cured by the court's immediate and strong curative instruction, which the jury is presumed to have followed ( see, People v. Berg, 59 N.Y.2d 294; People v. Shaw, 150 A.D.2d 626).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.

Rosenblatt, J. P., Miller, Goldstein and McGinity, JJ., concur.
