People v. Clemons

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Nov 18, 1992
187 A.D.2d 966 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

November 18, 1992

Appeal from the Onondaga County Court, Mulroy, J.

Present — Denman, P.J., Green, Balio, Boehm and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The trial court did not abuse its discretion in restricting defendant's cross-examination of the complainant. Defendant sought to examine the witness on a collateral matter — the filing of two complaints regarding her termination from employment. The trial court conducted an in camera review of the documents and concluded that they were not contradictory. There is no reason to disturb the trial court's exercise of discretion.

We conclude, upon reviewing the record, that the jury verdict is not contrary to the weight of evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495), and that the sentence imposed is not harsh or excessive.
