People v. Lertola

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 8, 1993
190 A.D.2d 756 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

February 8, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Sherman, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the court properly precluded cross-examination of the complaining witness about her sexual history as the theory upon which the defendant sought to admit the evidence was far too speculative (see, CPL 60.42; People v Perryman, 178 A.D.2d 916; People v Westfall, 95 A.D.2d 581, 585).

We also reject the defendant's argument that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel (see, People v Satterfield, 66 N.Y.2d 796, 798-799).

We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find that they are without merit. Rosenblatt, J.P., Lawrence, Pizzuto and Santucci, JJ., concur.
