People v. Parker

278 A.D.2d 4, 716 N.Y.S.2d 854, 2000 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 12679

Opinion

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Richard Price, J.), rendered May 18, 1998, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, and sentencing him to a term of 7 years, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant failed to meet his burden in support of his challenges for cause to three prospective jurors (see, People v Morgan, 265 AD2d 230, lv denied 94 NY2d 905). Defendant’s inquiries of these jurors were too limited and ambiguous to form a basis upon which to conclude that any of the jurors were biased, and defendant made no effort to expand these inquiries. Concur — Sullivan, P. J., Rosenberger, Nardelli, Tom and Lerner, JJ.
