May 26, 1983


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mario Merola, District Attorney (David Greenfield of counsel), for plaintiff. Christopher Spellman for defendant.


HAROLD SILVERMAN, J.

Defendant is charged with robbery and unlawful imprisonment. During his cross-examination of People's witness, Detective D'Allessio, defense counsel sought to elicit information that a witness to the crime, one Ahmed Sulley, had failed to identify defendant as one of the perpetrators of the robbery. It was conceded by both sides that Mr. Sulley was now unavailable. The People objected to the proffered testimony as hearsay.
