Kellett's testimony effectively circumvented the court's earlier Sandoval ruling precluding the introduction of defendant's past rape conviction by allowing her to testify that defendant was a sex offender ( see People v Osman , 228 AD3d 1007 , 1013 [3d Dept 2024]; People v Currier , 83 AD3d 1421, 1422 [4th Dept 2011]; cf. People v Snyder , 103 AD3d 1143, 1145 [4th Dept 2013]; compare People v Redd , 217 AD2d 564 , 564 [2d Dept 1995], lv denied 87 NY2d 850 [1995]; People v Cooper , 166 AD2d 888, 888 [4th Dept 1990], lv denied 76 NY2d 1020 [1990]).

Cited by 129 opinions  |  Published

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: None of defendant’s contentions requires reversal. The trial court’s limited questioning of the complainant was proper (see, People v De Jesus, 42 NY2d 519, 523) and the complainant’s reference to a prior incident involving the defendant was not so prejudicial that it denied defendant a fair trial or subverted the court’s Sandoval ruling (see, People v Sandoval, 34 NY2d 371). On this record, defendant’s convictions for first degree burglary are supported by the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495), defendant received meaningful assistance of counsel (see, People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137, 146-147; cf., People v Dombrowski, 163 AD2d 873), and defendant’s sentence is not excessive. (Appeal from judgment of Supreme Court, Erie County, Marshall, J.—burglary, first degree.) Present—Callahan, J. P., Denman, Green, Balio and Davis, JJ.
