People v. Deleon

262 A.D.2d 421, 692 N.Y.S.2d 94, 1999 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 6292

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided June 7, 1999·Published·Cited by 3 cases

Opinion

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gorges, J.), rendered March 13, 1996, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court properly refused to admit into evidence a videotaped statement of the defendant, made after he had ample opportunity to reflect (see, People v Dalton, 88 NY2d 561; People v Williams, 203 AD2d 498, 499). The videotaped statement was irrelevant unless offered for its truth and therefore constituted inadmissible hearsay (see, People v Rey[422]*422noso, 73 NY2d 816). Ritter, J. P., Joy, Goldstein and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
