People v. Smith

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Apr 14, 1989
149 A.D.2d 918 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

April 14, 1989

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Connell, J.

Present — Doerr, J.P., Boomer, Green, Pine and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We disagree with defendant's claim that Officer Blaho bolstered the credibility of the People's witnesses when she testified that, based upon statements provided by the tenants, she prepared an "arrest package" for defendant. The tenants of the apartment building where defendant was arrested were all called by the People to testify. Officer Blaho's testimony did not suggest that there was any higher degree of reliability to be accorded their testimony than that provided by the witnesses themselves (see, People v Brown, 115 A.D.2d 485, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 760).

We have reviewed defendant's remaining argument and find no merit to it.
