People v. Thorpe

—Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Westchester County (Smith, J.), both rendered April 24, 1998, convicting him of robbery in the first degree (three counts) under Indictment No. 96-855, and murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree, and attempted robbery in the first degree (two counts) under Indictment No. 97-15, upon jury verdicts, and imposing sentences. The appeals bring up for review the denial, after a hearing (West, J.), of that branch of the defendant’s omnibus motion which was to suppress his statements to law enforcement authorities.
