People v Antoine Miller

People v Miller 2004 NY Slip Op 01185 [4 AD3d 538] February 23, 2004 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, April 21, 2004

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Antoine Miller, Appellant.

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Tomei, J.), rendered March 20, 2002, convicting him of murder in the first degree and murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court properly limited defense counsel's cross-examination of one of the People's witnesses (see People v Messa, 299 AD2d 495 [2002], lv denied 100 NY2d 597 [2003]).

The defendant's contention that the trial court committed reversible error when it annotated the verdict sheet is partially unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]). In any event, the contention is without merit (see CPL 310.20 [2]; People v Anderson, 306 AD2d 536 [2003]; People v Pimentel, 282 AD2d 280, 281 [2001]).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Ritter, J.P., Smith, H. Miller and Mastro, JJ., concur.
