People v. Israel

286 A.D.2d 445, 730 N.Y.S.2d 247, 2001 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 8099

• Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
• Decided: August 20, 2001
• Status: Published

Opinion

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kreindler, J.), rendered February 22, 1999, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant failed to preserve for appellate review his contention that a female venireperson he challenged for cause had stated during voir dire that she could not be fair (see, CPL 470.05 [2]). In any event, the contention is not supported by the record.

The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Ritter, J. P., Krausman, Luciano and H. Miller, JJ., concur.
