People v. Lessey

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Daniel P. Conviser, J.), rendered June 25, 2013, as amended November 18, 2013, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of assault in the third degree, and sentencing him to a term of nine months, unanimously affirmed.

We need not decide whether defendant preserved his challenge to the court’s ruling striking the testimony of a character witness, or whether the character witness’s testimony was *667 relevant and admissible, because the evidence of defendant’s guilt was overwhelming. If there was any error in the decision to preclude this testimony, it was harmless.
