Opinion
December 16, 1993
Appeal from the County Court of Saratoga County (Williams, J.).
Defendant argues that his trial counsel was ineffective because he failed to call witnesses to the results of an alleged beating by a police officer after defendant's arrest and before defendant gave a detailed statement to the police. The issues concerning the alleged assault, however, were fully explored at the suppression hearing. Based on the record before us, it cannot be said that defendant was not provided with meaningful representation. With respect to any other claims of inadequate representation, they have been examined and rejected as lacking in merit.
Mikoll, J.P., Yesawich Jr., Mercure, Crew III and Cardona, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
