People v. Santiago

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Oct 7, 2010
77 A.D.3d 422 (N.Y. App. Div. 2010)

Opinion

No. 3314.

October 7, 2010.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (David Stadtmauer, J.), rendered March 5, 2008, convicting defendant, after a nonjury trial, of attempted assault in the third degree, and sentencing him to a conditional discharge for a period of one year with a $250 fine, unanimously affirmed.

Steven Banks, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Frances A. Gallagher of counsel), for appellant.

Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney, Bronx (Dana Levin of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Andrias, J.P., Friedman, Richter and Manzanet-Daniels, JJ.


The court properly denied defendant's motion to suppress his statement. The hearing evidence establishes that the officer's question, "What happened?" at the scene of an assault did not constitute custodial interrogation requiring Miranda warnings ( see People v Taylor, 57 AD3d 327, lv denied 12 NY3d 860).

Defendant's remaining contentions are unavailing ( see People v Correa, 15 NY3d 213).
