People v. Martinez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 15, 1987
131 A.D.2d 703 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

June 15, 1987

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Although the defendant alleges that her trial counsel committed many errors in the course of his representation, our review of the record reveals that the defendant was afforded meaningful representation. We note that defense counsel's theory of defense was both reasonable and plausible; that the jury chose not to accept the defendant's proffered defense provides no basis for reversal (see, People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137). Furthermore, we find no merit to the defendant's claim that her sentence was excessive. Lawrence, J.P., Weinstein, Rubin and Kooper, JJ., concur.
