Opinion
May 27, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Golia, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's claim that the court improperly admitted evidence of uncharged crimes is without merit. Since the defendant's admissions regarding other crimes were inextricably interwoven with his statements pertaining to the robbery which was the subject of the instant indictment, the admission into evidence of the defendant's statements in their entirety was proper (see, People v. Ventimiglia, 52 N.Y.2d 350, 361; People v Vails, 43 N.Y.2d 364).
The defendant's contention that the court erred in admitting into evidence hearsay evidence of a coconspirator's statements, thereby violating his Sixth Amendment right to confront and cross-examine witnesses, is unpreserved for appellate review, and we decline to review it in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction (see, People v. Green, 138 A.D.2d 516).
The defendant's sentence was neither harsh nor excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
Rosenblatt, J.P., Thompson, Sullivan and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
