People v. Amaro
Citations: 105 A.D.2d 708; 481 N.Y.S.2d 148; 1984 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 20817
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; November 4, 1984; New York; State Appellate Court
Defendant appealed a judgment from the Supreme Court, Kings County, which convicted him of first-degree robbery based on his guilty plea and imposed a sentence. The appellate court affirmed the judgment. During a hearing regarding the defendant's motion to suppress evidence, the court found that the complainant had spontaneously identified the defendant as the perpetrator, eliminating the need for a Wade hearing concerning the suppression of identification testimony. Consequently, the request for such a hearing was denied. The court also reviewed the defendant's additional claims and determined they lacked merit. Justices Gibbons, O’Connor, Weinstein, and Lawrence concurred with the decision.
