face claim in New York

1991As a general rule, testimony regarding the prompt complaint of rape by the victim may not include details of the incident, "unless the statements would qualify as spontaneous declarations, excited utterances or as a prior consistent statement made to bolster the witness’s credibility in the face of a claim of recent fabrication” (People v Riggio, 144 AD2d 951 , lv denied 73 NY2d 981 ; see also, People v Knapp, 139 AD2d 931 , lv denied 72 NY2d 862 ).

1990(Richardson, Evidence § 292, at 263; People v Fagan, 104 AD2d 252 [4th Dept 1984], affd 66 NY2d 815 [1985]; People v Knapp, supra; People v Riggio, 144 AD2d 951 [4th Dept 1988], lv denied 73 NY2d 981 [1989].)

2017According to well-established state evidentiary rules, the People generally may not use either in its case-in-chief or for impeachment a defendant’s pretrial silence, meaning a defendant’s failure to speak or to assert affirmatively innocence in the face of inquiry by law enforcement (People v Rutigliano, 261 NY 103, 107 [1933]; Conyers, 52 NY2d at 459 ). * This proscription on the use of silence recognizes that “a defendant’s silence is generally ambiguous and ‘of extremely limited probative worth’” (People v Williams, 25 NY3d 185, 191 [2015], quoting Conyers, 52 NY2d at 458 ).

2017Our court has long held that the touchstone of the adopted admission by silence jurisprudence is the "failure to deny, or to make immediate positive denials" when faced with accusation (see People v Allen, 300 NY 222, 226 [1949]; see also People v Williams, 25 NY3d 185, 189, 193-194 [2015] [holding that it was error for the prosecutor to invite jurors to consider defendant's failure to deny an accusation as evidence of guilt]).

2013Who happened to do it is another issue, but it is admissible for purposes of what happened.” 4 Counsel could reasonably have concluded that no objection was likely to succeed in the face of this warning, which indicated County Court’s opinion that the photographs were relevant, and instructed the jury as to the limited purpose for which they were admitted (see People v Francis, 83 AD3d 1119, 1122 [2011], lv denied 17 NY3d 806 [2011]).

2011She challenged the building project at the beginning of construction, sought an injunction and continued to complain about the lack of regulatory compliance throughout the process, putting Procopio on notice that she would seek relief and that he was proceeding at his own peril in the face of her challenge (see Matter of Schupak v Zoning Bd. of Appeals of Town of Marbletown, 31 AD3d 1018 , 1019-1020 [2006], lv denied and dismissed 8 NY3d 842 [2007]; compare Matter of Clarke v Town of Sand Lake Zoning Bd. of Appeals, 52 AD3d 997, 999-1000 [2008], lv denied 11 NY3d 707 [2008]; Bailey v Chernoff,

2010Nor are we persuaded, after reviewing petitioner’s constant argumentative and obstructive behavior during the hearing in the face of warnings that he could be removed, that the Hearing Officer erred in ultimately doing so (see Matter of Jackson v Fischer, 67 AD3d 1207, 1208 [2009]; Matter of Applewhite v Goord, 49 AD3d 1046, 1047 [2008]).

2007In the face of the challenge to plaintiffs resort to section 205 (a) to preserve his action, the reviewing court held that “[s]ince Judge Brieant’s dismissal was ‘without prejudice’, it is apparent that he did not intend to preclude plaintiff from the benefit of CPLR 205 (a) and, in light of the broad and liberal purpose for which CPLR 205 (a) was intended,” it rejected defendants’ statute of limitations attack (supra, 150 AD2d at 173 [internal citations omitted]).
