Opinion
April 27, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dufficy, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The evidence at the suppression hearing indicates that the defendant made two statements to the police in a noncustodial setting prior to his arrest. The remaining statements which the defendant sought to suppress were made subsequent to his arrest pursuant to a knowing and voluntary waiver of his Miranda rights. We therefore perceive no basis to disturb the determination of the hearing court.
Upon the exercise of our factual review power we are satisfied that the evidence was of sufficient quantity and quality to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
We have examined the remainder of the defendant's contentions and find them to be without merit. Brown, J.P., Niehoff, Sullivan and Harwood, JJ., concur.
