People v. Thompson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 18, 1994
203 A.D.2d 497 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

April 18, 1994

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant was convicted of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, as a result of his sale of drugs to an undercover police officer on June 26, 1990. The defendant contends, inter alia, that he was denied a fair trial due to the admission of testimony of other police officers which improperly bolstered the identification testimony of the undercover police officer who made the purchase of the drugs. However, the alleged errors are unpreserved for appellate review, since the defendant either failed to object to the admission of the testimony complained of, merely registered a general objection, or specified grounds which are different from the grounds he raises on this appeal (see, People v Voliton, 83 N.Y.2d 192; People v West, 56 N.Y.2d 662; People v Qualls, 55 N.Y.2d 733).

In any event, the errors, if any, do not warrant reversal in view of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see, People v Holt, 67 N.Y.2d 819; People v Johnson, 57 N.Y.2d 969; People v Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230; People v Larsen, 157 A.D.2d 672; People v Briggs, 156 A.D.2d 574).

We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Sullivan, Miller and Hart, JJ., concur.
