People v. Santana

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jun 10, 1986
121 A.D.2d 236 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

June 10, 1986

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Joan Carey, J.).


The trial court did not abuse its discretion in declining the jury's request to reread the defense counsel's summation. A summation is only one party's argument and does not constitute evidence. Consequently, we agree with the conclusion reached by the Second Department in People v. Jones ( 106 A.D.2d 585).

Concur — Kupferman, J.P., Sullivan, Carro and Milonas, JJ.
