People v. Johnson
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Decided June 27, 1996PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
The hearing court did not unduly limit defense counsel’s cross-examination of the arresting officer concerning prior unrelated arrests. Inquiry on this issue was only marginally relevant, and the court properly exercised its discretion (see, Delaware v Van Arsdall, 475 US 673, 679). Concur—Milonas, J. P., Ellerin, Kupferman, Tom and Mazzarelli, JJ.
