Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided June 27, 1996
228 A.D.2d 389; 644 N.Y.2d 623; 644 N.Y.S.2d 623; 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 7521
People v. Johnson

Opinion of the Court

The hearing court did not unduly limit defense counsel’s cross-examination of the arresting officer concerning prior unrelated arrests. Inquiry on this issue was only marginally relevant, and the court properly exercised its discretion (see, Delaware v Van Arsdall, 475 US 673, 679). Concur—Milonas, J. P., Ellerin, Kupferman, Tom and Mazzarelli, JJ.
