People v. Nimmons

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 2, 1986
123 A.D.2d 648 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

October 2, 1986

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


Judgment affirmed.

A witness to the crime identified the defendant within two hours of the early afternoon robbery, after giving the police a detailed description of the perpetrators. The description led to the defendant's prompt arrest. The defendant was then returned to the scene of the crime in the rear of an unmarked police car, where he was identified by the witness, who had not left the area.

This showup identification procedure was not so "unnecessarily suggestive and conducive to irreparable mistaken identification, that the defendant was denied due process of law" (People v Brnja, 70 A.D.2d 17, 23, affd 50 N.Y.2d 366; see, People v Veal, 106 A.D.2d 418).

The defendant's remaining contention has been reviewed and found to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Niehoff, Eiber and Spatt, JJ., concur.
