People v. Thornton

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 23, 1969
32 A.D.2d 830 (N.Y. App. Div. 1969)

Opinion

June 23, 1969


Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County, rendered February 29, 1968, convicting him of grand larceny in the first degree and two counts of burglary in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing concurrent sentences of 2 1/2 to 5 years on each count. Judgment affirmed. While there may have been technical error with respect to testimony at the trial concerning a brief, minor admission by defendant which was not adduced at the pretrial Huntley hearing on the admissibility of his full oral and written confession, we find, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the error was not materially prejudicial and could not have affected the result (Code Crim. Pro., § 542; cf. Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18, 23-24; Frazier v. Cupp ___ U.S. ___; People v. Padgett, 32 A.D.2d 672). Christ, Acting P.J., Benjamin, Munder, Martuscello and Kleinfeld, JJ., concur.
