Summary
holding that evidentiary objection was not preserved when appellant advanced different grounds on appeal than he had raised at trial
Summary of this case from Abreu v. KuhlmannOpinion
Argued November 18, 1981
Decided November 24, 1981
Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, WILLIAM J. DROHAN, J.
Andrew C. Fine and William E. Hellerstein for appellant.
Mario Merola, District Attorney (Howard Birnbach and Billie Manning of counsel), for respondent.
MEMORANDUM.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
The defendant's objection at trial was solely on the ground that the evidence constituted improper bolstering. That was insufficient to preserve for our review the contentions now advanced that the evidence constituted inadmissible hearsay and that its introduction violated the defendant's constitutional right of confrontation (see People v Gonzalez, 55 N.Y.2d 720, decided herewith). The other issues were either not preserved or are found to be without merit.
Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER concur.
Order affirmed in a memorandum.
