People v. Wheeler

80 A.D.2d 785, 438 N.Y.S.2d 467, 1981 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 10576

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided March 12, 1981·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County, rendered September 12, 1978, convicting defendant of robbery in the second degree and sentencing him to a term of 5 to 10 years, unanimously affirmed. As improper and tasteless as was the prosecutor’s conduct of his cross-examination of a defense witness and summation, we do not find that defendant was denied a fair trial. Proof of guilt was overwhelming. (See People v Arce, 42 NY2d 179, 189-191.) We have considered defendant’s other contention and find it to be without merit. Concur — Birns, J.P., Sullivan, Ross, Markewich and Silverman, JJ.
