People v. White

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 13, 1995
213 A.D.2d 507 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

March 13, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hall, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's sole contention on appeal is that the trial court committed reversible error by granting the People's challenge for cause of a prospective juror who had expressed a disinclination to render a guilty verdict in the absence of testimony from multiple eyewitnesses. We find, however, that this prospective juror was properly dismissed (see, CPL 270.20 [b]; People v. Torpey, 63 N.Y.2d 361, 367; People v. Torres, 164 A.D.2d 923, 923-924). Rosenblatt, J.P., Lawrence, Hart and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
