Description
[30 N.Y.2d 199 Page 201] The alleged commission by the defendant on November 15, 1968 of criminal acts unrelated to those for which he was on trial was proven by the People, who seek to justify the production of this ordinarily irrelevant evidence (1) as probative of disposition refuting the defense of entrapment, interposed to a charge of crime committed prior thereto, on November 11, 1968; and (2) as countering the defense of duress, interposed to a charge of crime committed thereafter, on November 19, 1968. Additionally, the People referred to defendant's alleged possession, on December 15, 1968, of marijuana and a hypodermic syringe, to test the opinion of a character witness testifying to defendant's good reputation as of the time of the alleged crimes of November 11, 1968 and November 19, 1968. These various time factors underlie appellant's claims of error.
