The People of the State of New York v. Peter J. Vidal

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the defendant's conviction, holding that the trial court did not err in permitting cross‑examination about a prior conviction for driving without a license, a prior assault that was terminated in Youth Part, and a prior possession of forged licenses adjudicated as a youthful offender. The Court also held that the defendant's general objections, unaccompanied by specific objections, failed to preserve the issues for appellate review.
