Date published: Apr 29, 1985

110 A.D.2d 915 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

April 29, 1985

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

Judgment affirmed.

Defendant's confession, made after his companion made a statement implicating defendant in a prior robbery, was so attenuated as to dissipate any taint which might have resulted from his arrest ( see, Brown v. Illinois, 422 U.S. 590; People v Calhoun, 78 A.D.2d 658). Lazer, J.P., O'Connor, Weinstein and Brown, JJ., concur.
