The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jaime Arroyo Zimmerman, Also Known as Jaime A. Zimmerman, Appellant.
[668 NYS2d 466]

Opinion:
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Gerald Sheindlin, J.), rendered February 15, 1994, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of murder in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of 25 years to life, unanimously affirmed.
The court properly admitted into evidence the Grand Jury testimony of a prosecution witness since misconduct by defendant in intimidating and threatening the witness was established by clear and convincing evidence (see, People v Geraci, 85 NY2d 359; People v Cotto, 240 AD2d 193, lv granted 90 NY2d 1010; People v Small, 177 AD2d 669, lv denied 79 NY2d 953). Defendant's remaining claims related to this issue are unpreserved for review and, in any event, lack merit.
