Opinion
December 8, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Mary McGowan Davis, J.).
The court properly denied defendant's motion to suppress the videotaped confession, since there was a pronounced break in the interrogation that "was occasioned by a sufficient lapse, of time and interrogation by a different" person, such that the taped statement was not tainted by the factors that led to suppression of the prior oral and written statements ( People v. Vientos, 164 A.D.2d 122, 127, affd 79 N.Y.2d 771). The record amply supports the court's factual findings.
Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Rosenberger, Wallach and Mazzarelli, JJ.
