PEOPLE v. DUBOIS

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

It was error for the trial court to allow a police officer to testify that he arrested the defendant after a conversation with a codefendant who did not testify at trial (People v Felder, 108 A.D.2d 869, 870; People v Cruz, 100 A.D.2d 882, 883). However, the error was unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, was harmless in light of the strong identification testimony by the two victims (People v Johnson, 57 N.Y.2d 969, 970; People v Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230, 242).

The defendant failed to object to the jury charge at trial, and thus his claim regarding the reasonable doubt standard was also not preserved for appellate review (CPL 470.05; People v De Mauro, 48 N.Y.2d 892, 893; People v Reed, 120 A.D.2d 552, 553). In any event, it is clear that the charge as a whole conveyed the proper standard to the jury (People v Fisher, 112 A.D.2d 378). Brown, J.P., Rubin, Eiber and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
