Failure to Raise Denial of Constitutional Right to Present a Complete Defense Precluded Appeal

The Second Department noted that the defendant’s failure to raise the denial of his constitutional right to present a complete defense and confront witnesses (re: cross-examination of victim about an alleged motive to fabricate) at trial rendered the issue unpreserved for appellate review.  People v Simmons, 2013 NY Slip Op 03861, 2nd Dept, 5-29-13
