Opinion
July 12, 1985
Appeal from the Wayne County Court, Stiles, J.
Present — Doerr, J.P., Boomer, O'Donnell, Pine and Schnepp, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The court did not err in admitting defendant's custodial statements at the trial. Defendant placed in issue the voluntariness of his waiver by offering expert testimony of his alleged "epileptic furor" at the time of the commission of the crime and the effect this might have had on the quality of the waiver of his rights. The court properly instructed the jury to consider the statements only if they found them to be knowingly and intelligently made (CPL 710.70).
We have examined the other issues raised by defendant and find them to be without merit.
