Description
DECISION & ORDER On November 1, 1980, a group of three to four armed men robbed the Skylark Bar and Restaurant in Queens. During the course of the robbery, the manager of the bar was killed, and a customer was wounded. Five days later, two Brooklyn police officers arrested the defendant in Kings County for criminal possession of a .25 caliber semi-automatic pistol, which was later established to be one of the weapons used in the Skylark robbery. The Brooklyn police officers subsequently testified before the Kings County Grand Jury in connection with their arrest of the defendant for criminal possession of a weapon in that jurisdiction. Thereafter, when the defendant was tried in Queens County for the Skylark robbery, his attorney requested the prosecutor to produce the transcript of the police officers' Kings County Grand Jury testimony as Rosario material. The prosecutor objected to the request upon the grounds that the Grand Jury minutes were not in his possession, and that the minutes did not, in any event, constitute Rosario material. We agree that the subject minutes did not constitute Rosario material, and accordingly, affirm the judgment of conviction.
