696 N.Y.S.2d 125 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1999
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Herbert Altman, J.), rendered December 13, 1996, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of robbery in the first degree (2 counts), burglary in the first degree (2 counts) and sodomy in the first degree (2 counts), and sentencing him, as a second violent felony offender, to an aggregate term of 22 to 44 years, unanimously affirmed.
Defendant’s motion to suppress physical evidence, statements and identification testimony was properly denied. The arresting officers possessed reasonable suspicion to stop and frisk defendant since his physical appearance sufficiently matched that of a description of a serial robber/burglar and defendant was spotted in the victimized neighborhood on a day of the week and at 6:00 a.m., the hour during which the prior crimes had occurred.
