Opinion
June 5, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lipp, J., Lagana, J.).
Ordered that the judgment and the amended judgment are affirmed.
The defendant has not preserved for appellate review his contention that the prosecutor was improperly permitted to cross-examine him regarding statements that he had allegedly made to his wife prior to the murder of which he was convicted (see, People v. Qualls, 55 N.Y.2d 733). In any event, there is no merit to the defendant's contention. The challenged questions were based on information derived from the Grand Jury proceedings. Therefore, the prosecutor had a good-faith basis for asking them (People v. Sealy, 167 A.D.2d 362).
The defendant's remaining contentions do not warrant reversal. Balletta, J.P., Miller, Santucci and Altman, JJ., concur.
