People v. Torpey

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Dec 21, 1990
168 A.D.2d 916 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

December 21, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Monroe County, Kennedy, J.

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


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant's contentions that he was denied a fair and impartial Grand Jury by adverse publicity and that he was denied his right to an individual verdict are unpreserved, and we decline to reach them in the interest of justice. Defendant's challenges for cause to certain prospective jurors were properly denied because there was no showing of a risk that the predispositions of those jurors would prevent them from rendering an impartial verdict based on the evidence adduced at trial and the law as charged by the court (see, People v. Laezza, 143 A.D.2d 289; People v. Taylor, 97 A.D.2d 983, 984).

Defendant's remaining contentions on appeal were previously raised and determined to be without merit in his codefendant's appeal (People v. Taylor, 155 A.D.2d 980, lv. denied 75 N.Y.2d 818, cert. denied ___ US ___, 110 L Ed 2d 641).
