People v. Fardangreen

2 sentences

2018Although the court, after a pretrial Sandoval hearing ( see People v Sandoval , 34 NY2d 371 ), had previously ruled that such evidence would be precluded, the defendant opened the door to such testimony on direct examination ( see People v Rodriguez , 85 NY2d 586, 591 ; People v Fardan , 82 NY2d 638, 646 ; People v Franks , 137 AD3d 936, 937 ; People v Perez , 120 AD3d 514, 514 ).

2016Moreover, upon our independent review of the evidence pursuant to CPL 470.15 (5), we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633 [2006]). *937 The Supreme Court did not err in permitting the People to cross-examine the defendant as to the underlying facts of a prior conviction, which the court, after a pretrial Sandoval hearing (see People v Sandoval, 34 NY2d 371 [1974]), had previously ruled would be precluded, as the defendant opened the door to such testimony on direct examination (see People v Rodriguez, 85 NY2d 586, 5

2 sentences

2014Therefore, the defendant’s pres *879 ence at the hearing would have been superfluous, and reversal of the judgment of conviction on that basis is unwarranted (see People v Michalek, 194 AD2d 568, 568-569 [1993], mod 82 NY2d 906 [1993]; see also People v Dokes, 79 NY2d 656, 661 [1992]).

1995The Legislature could rationally conclude that the existence of circumstances evincing "depraved indifference” is an aggravating factor warranting more serious punishment, even where the conduct was accompanied by a reckless rather than an intentional mental state. *993 Finally, we reject defendant’s suggestion that her conviction should be reversed because of a claimed exclusion from the pretrial Sandoval hearing (see, People v Dokes, 79 NY2d 656 ), since her claim is lacking in substantive merit.

2014Defendant, “the only available source of testimony in support of his defense” (People v Mandigo, 176 AD2d 386, 387 [1991]), testified without the benefit of a Sandoval ruling (see People v Delgado, 101 AD3d 1144, 1146 [2012]; People v Slide, 76 AD3d 1106 , 1106-1108 [2010]; People v Montoya, 63 AD3d 961, 962-963 [2009]; People v Langlois, 265 AD2d 683, 684-685 [1999]; People v Mandigo, 176 AD2d at 387 ).

2010Since the Supreme Court failed to conduct a pretrial Sandoval hearing, and the People failed to provide adequate notice to the defendant of their intention to impeach his credibility, the Supreme Court committed error in allowing the People to cross-examine the defendant about those prior bad acts, and thereby deprived the defendant of his right to a fair trial (see People v Beasley, 184 AD2d 1003, 1003-1004 [1992], affd 80 NY2d 981, 982 [1992]; People v Montoya, 63 AD3d at 961 ; People v Marrow, 301 AD2d 673, 675 [2003] ).

2018Following a pretrial Sandoval hearing ( see People v Sandoval, 34 NY2d 371 ), the Supreme Court granted the People's application to cross-examine the defendant, in the event he were to testify, about the underlying facts of the defendant's 2006 conviction for attempted coercion.
