Notice of Intention to Offer Molineux Evidence During Jury Selection and Molineux Hearing Upon Completion of Jury Selection Are Timely

The Fourth Department determined that the People’s notice of intention to offer Molineux evidence, provided during jury selection, and the Court’s Molineux ruling, made upon the completion of jury selection, was timely:

According to defendant, the timing of the court’s Molineux ruling upon the completion of jury selection denied him the opportunity to explore the potential impact of that evidence on voir dire. It is well settled that “a defendant is not entitled as a matter of law to pretrial notice of the People’s intention to offer evidence pursuant to People v Molineux (168 NY 264 [1901]) or to a pretrial hearing on the admissibility of such evidence” … . People v Holmes, 258, KA 09-01281, 4th Dept. 3-22-13
