People v. Quinones green

1 sentence

2012In People v Quinones ( 173 AD2d at 396 ), we specifically held that “the testimony of one or all of those who could consent to entry is not in all cases indispensable.” Here, the circumstantial proof offered at the hearing, including the admissions of appellant and the testimony of the building employee, was sufficient to sustain the court’s finding that appellant was in the building without permission.

2004Finally, in view of defendant’s knowing, voluntary and intelligent waiver of his right to appeal, we decline to review his contention that the sentence was harsh and excessive (see people v Clow, 10 AD 3d 803 [2004]).
