People v. Samuelson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 18, 1988
139 A.D.2d 681 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

April 18, 1988

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Sherman, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's allegation of error with respect to the court's charge on the issue of reasonable doubt was not the subject of objection and accordingly, the matter is not preserved for our review (see, CPL 470.05). In any event, any error was harmless in light of the fact that the charge as to reasonable doubt, read in its entirety, conveyed the proper standard of proof and the evidence as to the defendant's guilt was overwhelming (see, People v. Martinez, 118 A.D.2d 661, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 1054; People v. Valdivia, 108 A.D.2d 885). Bracken, J.P., Weinstein, Rubin and Kooper, JJ., concur.
