People v. Velez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 23, 1997
240 A.D.2d 685 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

June 23, 1997

Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (LaCava, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The hearing court properly determined that the police officers had a reasonable suspicion that the defendant committed a crime, thus authorizing the forcible stop and detention of the defendant ( see, People v. De Bour, 40 N.Y.2d 210, 223). Moreover, the court properly determined that the showups made at the scene of the crime, which occurred while the defendant was handcuffed in the rear of a police car, were not so unnecessarily suggestive as to create a substantial likelihood of misidentification ( see, People v. Duuvon, 77 N.Y.2d 541).

The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are either unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05) or without merit.

Miller, J.P., Sullivan, Joy and Altman, JJ., concur.
