People v. Rivera
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Decided January 31, 2012PublishedCited by 5 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
*973Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the trial court did not, in effect, deprive him of the right to challenge the voluntariness of a statement he made at a hospital by precluding certain evidence. In this regard, the trial court providently exercised its discretion in precluding the defendant’s hospital record and photographs taken of him hours after he made his statement, as any probative value that evidence may have had would have been substantially outweighed by its prejudicial effect (see People v Scarola, 71 NY2d 769, 777 [1988]; People v Jessamy, 282 AD2d 288, 289 [2001]).
