Opinion
April 25, 1955.
Appeal from County Court, Queens County.
Present — Nolan, P.J., Wenzel, Schmidt, Beldock and Murphy, JJ.
While this court does not approve the practice, upon the voir dire of prospective jurors, of propounding hypothetical questions containing detailed statements of fact, which counsel expects to establish, and pre-supposed rules of law to be charged by the court, with the extraction of a statement by a talesman as to how he shall vote under the circumstances, upon all the facts disclosed in this record and in view of the substantial proof of defendants' guilt, the error may be disregarded under section 542 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
