The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
We reject defendant’s claim that his warrantless arrest violated
Payton v New York
(
Further, there is no merit to defendant’s claim that his constitutional right to confront witnesses was violated when the trial court allowed the People to elicit a statement that a non-testifying codefendant had made to a detective. The statement was admitted not to establish the truth of the matter asserted, but rather to show the detective’s state of mind. As the United States Supreme Court recently observed, “[t]he [Confrontation] Clause . . . does not bar the use of testimonial statements for purposes other than establishing the truth of the matter asserted”
