People v. West
12 N.Y.2d 1090
NY
1963
Check Treatment

Order reversed and judgment of the County Court, Albany County, reinstated upon the ground that, when counsel for defendant voiced “ no objection ” to the admission into evidence of the material allegedly obtained contrary to the principles enunciated in Mapp v. Ohio (367 U. S. 643), no question of law was preserved for review by any appellate court (People v. Friola, 11 N Y 2d 157; People v. Kelly, 12 N Y 2d 248). Although the Appellate Division is empowered to consider the legality of the evidence in deciding whether to reverse on the facts or in the “interests of justice ” (see People v. Kelly, supra), that court has indicated in the present case that ‘ ‘ Except for the asserted question of law [it] would have affirmed on the facts ”. Other alleged errors raised by defendant on this appeal are without substance. No opinion.

Concur: Chief Judge Desmond and Judges Dye, Ftjld, Van Voobhis, Btjbke, Postee and Scileppi.
