People v. Saunders

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 24, 1997
244 A.D.2d 580 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

November 24, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Friedman, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court properly denied the defendant's motion to set aside the verdict pursuant to CPL 330.30 (3). The defendant failed to show that the allegedly newly discovered evidence could not have been produced at the trial by the exercise of due diligence, or that the evidence, if presented to the jury, would have resulted in a different verdict ( see, People v. Salemi, 309 N.Y. 208, cert denied 350 U.S. 950). Furthermore, since the court was able to make its determination on the basis of the motion papers, it did not err in failing to hold a hearing ( see, CPL 330.40 [c], [e] [ii]).

The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.

Copertino, J. P., Thompson, Friedmann and Krausman, JJ., concur.
