People v. Dawkins

People v. Dawkins
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided April 15, 1985
110 A.D.2d 777; 488 N.Y.S.2d 219; 1985 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 48682
People v. Dawkins

Opinion of the Court

We find that the trial court properly exercised its discretion in ruling upon defendant’s Sandoval motion. The probative worth of the evidence on the issue of defendant’s credibility outweighed any possible prejudicial effect (see, People v Sandoval, 34 NY2d 371).

We have considered defendant’s remaining contentions and find that they are either without merit or unpreserved for our review (CPL 470.05 [2]). Lazer, J. P., Gibbons, O’Connor and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
