Opinion
August 31, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Meyerson, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that he was physically abused by the arresting officers and that the evidence adduced at the suppression hearing warranted a finding by the hearing court that his inculpatory statement subsequently given to one of these officers was involuntary as a matter of law. However, the claim of brutality was contradicted by the testimony of the interrogating detective, to wit, that the defendant was not physically beaten or otherwise mistreated subsequent to his arrest and prior to his interrogation (see, People v. Alver, 111 A.D.2d 339). The hearing court's determination that the statement was voluntarily made is supported by the record and should not be disturbed on appeal (see, People v. Gee, 104 A.D.2d 561).
The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review and, under the circumstances of this case, need not be reviewed in the interests of justice. Mangano, J.P., Niehoff, Sullivan and Harwood, JJ., concur.
