People v. Williams

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jan 8, 2008
47 A.D.3d 648 (N.Y. App. Div. 2008)

Opinion

No. 2003-05289.

January 8, 2008.

Appeal by the defendant from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Silverman, J.), entered April 28, 2003, which, without a hearing, inter alia, denied his motion pursuant to CPL 440.30 (1-a) for forensic DNA testing of certain evidence recovered by the police.

Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Warren S. Landau of counsel), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Ruth E. Ross of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Mastro, J.P., Covello, Angiolillo and Carni, JJ.


Ordered that the order is affirmed.

The Supreme Court properly denied the defendant's motion pursuant to CPL 440.30 (1-a) for DNA testing of evidence. The defendant failed to allege any facts demonstrating that, if DNA test results had been admitted at the trial resulting in the judgment, there exists a reasonable probability that the verdict would have been more favorable to him ( see People v West, 41 AD3d 884; People v Simpson, 35 AD3d 901; People v Mixon, 30 AD3d 1103).
