Description
[107 A.D.2d 1040 Page 1040] Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment based upon convictions for murder in the second degree and related offenses, defendant's principal argument is that he was denied a fair trial because the prosecutor knowingly allowed two chief witnesses to lie. There is no merit to this claim. The prosecutor informed the jury in his opening statement that there might be inconsistencies in the trial testimony because two key prosecution witnesses were convicted criminals who had motives to lie. Both witnesses agreed as to the most critical factor in the case, i.e., when last seen alive the murder victim was being guarded by the defendant who was armed, and the victim's body was found near the house in which he had been held hostage.
