PEOPLE v. SEYMOUR

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.
Apr 19, 1990

Defendant was discovered by the complaining witnesses in the nonpublic nurses locker room of the Jacobi Hospital Screening Clinic. The physical evidence was found by the nurses within close proximity to the defendant and its connection to the defendant was clearly not at all tenuous and sufficiently relevant to be admitted (People v. Mirenda, 23 N.Y.2d 439, 453). A proper foundation was established for its admission and a sufficient chain of custody demonstrated.

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Carro, Wallach and Rubin, JJ.
