People v. Polcastro

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 23, 1985
115 A.D.2d 669 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

December 23, 1985

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


Judgments affirmed.

Contrary to defendant's contentions, there is no indication in the record that his will was overborne or that he was compelled or coerced into confessing his guilt. Rather, the record supports the conclusion of the hearing court that defendant voluntarily agreed to participate in a videotaped interview after being fully apprised of his Miranda rights (see, People v Armstead, 98 A.D.2d 726).

Defendant's challenge to the sufficiency of his plea allocutions has not been properly preserved for review (see, People v Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636) and, in any event, is devoid of merit.

Finally, we find no merit to defendant's claim that his sentence was excessive. Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Niehoff and Eiber, JJ., concur.
