Opinion
December 3, 1990
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lombardo, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is reversed, on the law, and a new trial is ordered. No questions of fact have been raised or considered.
The court committed reversible error when it permitted the prosecutor to peremptorily challenge a juror after defense counsel had exercised his peremptory challenges (see, CPL 270.15; People v. Williams, 26 N.Y.2d 62, 63-64; People v. McQuade, 110 N.Y. 284, 295; People v. McBride, 51 A.D.2d 554, 555).
We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental brief, and find them to be without merit. Balletta, J.P., Miller, O'Brien and Ritter, JJ., concur.
