People v. Lopez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Mar 7, 1991
171 A.D.2d 438 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

March 7, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Frank Torres, J.).


Defendant contends that the People were required to stipulate to discussions between the complainant and the district attorney's office regarding any threats made or inducements offered to compel the complainant to press charges. However, the only objection preserved was that the evidence was relevant to the complainant's credibility, which was properly held to be a collateral matter not subject to contrary proof by extrinsic evidence. (People v Bellamy, 97 A.D.2d 654.) We decline to consider any ground for the admission of such testimony which was not advanced at the trial court.

Concur — Carro, J.P., Ellerin, Wallach, Kupferman and Kassal, JJ.
