People v. Martinez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 19, 1988
145 A.D.2d 577 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

December 19, 1988

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hayes, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's present attack upon certain portions of the trial court's charge is unpreserved for appellate review as a matter of law (see, CPL 470.05; People v DeJesus, 132 A.D.2d 564, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 799). In any event, his contention is without merit as the court's instructions adequately conveyed the proper standards for evaluating the issue of accessorial liability (see, e.g., People v Griffin, 132 A.D.2d 670, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 955; People v Newton, 120 A.D.2d 751, lv denied 68 N.Y.2d 759; People v Compitiello, 118 A.D.2d 720, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 941), and accurately emphasized the jury's duty to evaluate the evidence as to the defendant and his codefendant separately. Lawrence, J.P., Rubin, Spatt and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
