People v. Vega

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Mar 1, 1990
159 A.D.2d 218 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

March 1, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County, Franklin Weissberg, J.


We find no merit to defendant's claim that the prosecutor bolstered his case by repetitively eliciting the same testimony from the police witnesses. We find no danger that the manner in which the evidence was adduced at trial improperly suggested that the case against defendant was more weighty than it really was.

In addition, we do not consider defendant's sentence to be excessive. The remaining contentions of defendant are not preserved as a matter of law and we therefore decline to reach them. Were we to consider them, in the interest of justice, we would nevertheless affirm, finding them to be without merit.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Carro, Rosenberger, Kassal and Ellerin, JJ.
