People v. Diaz

238 A.D.2d 214, 656 N.Y.S.2d 859, 1997 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 3902

Opinion

—Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Steven Barrett, J.), rendered May 27, 1994, convicting defendant, after a nonjury trial, of manslaughter in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and sentencing him to concurrent prison terms of 121/2 to 25 years and 1 year, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

The record establishes that the Miranda warnings read to defendant conveyed the requisite information (see, People v Sirno, 151 AD2d 621, 623, affd 76 NY2d 967) and that defendant understood the immediate import of the Miranda warnings read to him (People v Williams, 62 NY2d 285). We perceive no abuse of sentencing discretion. Concur—Milonas, J. P., Ellerin, Rubin and Mazzarelli, JJ.
