People v. Muniz

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 23, 1998
248 A.D.2d 644 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

March 23, 1998

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

There is no merit to the defendant's contention that he was deprived of his right to a fair trial by the introduction of evidence regarding uncharged crimes. The evidence was admissible to complete the narrative of events and to show the defendant's motive and intent (see, People v. Bowden, 157 A.D.2d 789; People v. Hardwick, 140 A.D.2d 624; People v. Maggio, 137 A.D.2d 623). The probative value of the evidence clearly outweighed any prejudicial effect and the court gave a proper limiting instruction to the jury (see, People v. Bowden, supra; People v. Maggio, supra).

The defendant's remaining contention is without merit (see, People v. Gaines, 158 A.D.2d 540).

Copertino, J. P., Altman, Florio and Luciano, JJ., concur.
