People v. Williams

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Apr 9, 1964
20 A.D.2d 963 (N.Y. App. Div. 1964)

Opinion

April 9, 1964

Appeal from the Erie County Court.

Present — Bastow, J.P., Goldman, Henry, Noonan and Del Vecchio, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The defense of entrapment may not be raised for the first time on appeal. "Points raised by briefs, not properly presented by the record, are ordinarily not considered by the court." ( People v. Hicks, 287 N.Y. 165, 174.) "A charge upon the issues raised by the pleadings and justified by the evidence, which is correct in law and sufficient to guide the jury, is not open to objection because it fails to instruct on all the theories which may be drawn from the evidence introduced, unless a request for further instructions is made." (53 Am. Jur., Trial, p. 415; see, also, People v. Cohen, 5 N.Y.2d 282, 290.)
