PEOPLE v. JACKSON (1997)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York.

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Anthony JACKSON, Defendant-Appellant.

Decided: March 04, 1997

Before MURPHY, P.J., and ROSENBERGER, RUBIN and MAZZARELLI, JJ.

Mary C. Farrington, for Respondent. Steven R. Berko, for Defendant-Appellant.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Leslie Crocker Snyder, J.), rendered November 16, 1993, convicting defendant, after a nonjury trial, of two counts of murder in the second degree, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of 25 years to life, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant's claim that he was denied his right to a prompt verdict and his constitutional right to a speedy trial by the 71/212 month delay between the close of proof and the rendering of the court's verdict is unpreserved for appellate review. The delay is sufficiently explained by the factual and legal issues, which necessitated review by the court of the parties' delayed posttrial submissions prior to reaching a verdict.
