People v. Welch

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Oct 26, 2000
276 A.D.2d 421 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

October 26, 2000.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Lawrence Tonetti, J.), rendered June 23, 1997, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of robbery in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of 3 to 9 years, unanimously affirmed.

David S. Weisel, for respondent.

Gerald E. Bodell, for defendant-appellant.

Before: Williams, J.P., Tom, Mazzarelli, Andrias, Buckley, JJ.


The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence. We see no reason to disturb the jury's determinations concerning credibility. The evidence clearly establishes a forcible taking while aided by other persons actually present (Penal Law § 160.10).

The court properly exercised its discretion in denying defendant's request to receive in evidence the report of the complainant's 911 call, since the inconsistency it contained was elicited by defendant during cross-examination, at which time the complainant fully admitted the inconsistency (see, People v. Piazza, 48 N.Y.2d 151, 164-165).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
