People v. Smith
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Renee White, J.), rendered July 11, 1994, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of attempted robbery in the first degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 6 to 12 years, unanimously affirmed.
Defendant’s challenge for cause to a potential juror was properly denied. While the potential juror’s assurances of impartiality were cautiously phrased, she never gave any indication of actual bias (see, People v Blyden, 55 NY2d 73, 74-75). Concur—Rosenberger, J. P., Ellerin, Williams, Mazzarelli and Andrias, JJ.
