People v. Grama

124 A.D.2d 746, 508 N.Y.S.2d 247, 1986 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 62047

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided November 17, 1986·Published·Cited by 2 cases

Opinion

Since the defendant’s attorney raised the defenses of entrapment and duress during jury selection, during his opening statement and in cross-examination, the trial court did not err when it permitted evidence relating to the defendant’s criminal predisposition to be introduced on the People’s direct case (see, People v Mann, 31 NY2d 253, 261; People v Calvano, 30 NY2d 199, 205; People v Frisbie, 115 AD2d 911, 912).

We have examined the defendant’s other contentions and find them to be without merit (see, People v Pavao, 59 NY2d 282, 288-289; People v Almodovar, 62 NY2d 126, 133; People v Farrar, 52 NY2d 302, 305). Brown, J. P., Rubin, Lawrence and Hooper, JJ., concur.
