People v. Reed

197 A.D.2d 866 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

October 1, 1993

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Connell, J.

Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Lawton, Fallon and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We find no basis to disturb the suppression court's determination that the showup identification of defendant by Sergeant Smith was not impermissibly suggestive. Because the showup was proximate in time and space to the scene of the crime, it was an appropriate means of securing a prompt identification (see, People v. Love, 57 N.Y.2d 1023, 1024). Additionally, the possibility of misidentification was greatly reduced because the confirmatory identification was made by a police officer who was trained to be both accurate and objective (see, People v. Morales, 37 N.Y.2d 262; People v. Rupert, 192 A.D.2d 1072; People v. Snow, 128 A.D.2d 564).
