Description
The record demonstrates that the trial court exercised its discretion when it ruled that the prosecution would be permitted to impeach the credibility of the defendant, if he took the stand, by confronting him with his prior criminal acts. Indeed, the court, in its opinion carefully balanced the probative worth of the tendered proof against the risk of prejudice and it cannot be said that the courts ruling which would have permitted cross-examination as to these acts constituted an abuse of discretion as a matter of law (People v Mackey, 49 N.Y.2d 274, 281; People v Sandoval, 34 N.Y.2d 371, 378).
