Description
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant was convicted of three counts each of third degree criminal possession
and sale of a controlled substance. It was not necessary for the People to call the evidence clerks who received the contraband
at the laboratory (see, People v Newman, 129 A.D.2d 742, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 652). The People established a proper chain of
custody of the contraband involved in each incident based upon the testimony of the only officers who handled the drugs and
the forensic chemists who tested the evidence. This proof provided reasonable assurances of the identity and unchanged condition
of the evidence (see, People v Julian, 41 N.Y.2d 340, 343; People v Steiner, 148 A.D.2d 980, 981; People v Gamble, 94 A.D.2d
960). The court did not abuse its discretion in denying defense counsel's challenge for cause of two prospective jurors. Although
each juror initially expressed strong feelings against drugs, each juror assured the court that she could be fair and impartial
(see, CPL 270.20[1][b]; People v Colon, 71 N.Y.2d 410, 418-419, cert denied 487 US 1239; People v Williams, 63 N.Y.2d 882,
884-885; People v Corbett, 68 A.D.2d 772, 778-779, affd 52 N.Y.2d 714). We have considered defendant's remaining contentions
and find that none requires reversal.
