People v. Salgado

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 9, 2010
70 A.D.3d 864 (N.Y. App. Div. 2010)

Opinion

No. 2007-05879.

February 9, 2010.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Erlbaum, J.), rendered June 5, 2007, convicting him of assault in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Alexis A. Ascher of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Nicoletta J. Cafferri, and William H. Branigan of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Rivera, J.P., Dickerson, Chambers and Hall, JJ., concur.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The nature and extent of cross-examination is subject to the sound discretion of the trial judge ( see People v Schwartzman, 24 NY2d 241, 244, cert denied 396 US 846). Here, contrary to the defendant's contention, defense counsel's crossexamination of the complainant was not improperly curtailed or restricted ( see People v Macuil, 67 AD3d 1025; People v Martin, 33 AD3d 1024).

Moreover, the Supreme Court properly precluded the defendant from displaying certain scarring on his legs to the jury ( see generally People v Aska, 91 NY2d 979, 981; People v Bowen, 67 AD3d 1022; People v Martin, 27 AD3d 665).
