Description

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed for the reasons stated in the memorandum at the Appellate Division. In light of appellants emphasis on his trial attorneys introduction of evidence relating to a photograph array in which defendants picture was not included and the Appellate Divisions notation of, but failure to comment upon, that fact, we add that in the dilemma trial counsel faced, defendants alibi defense being tainted by the fact that one of his alibi witnesses had originally accused defendant of committing the crime, counsels decision to risk use of the photo array evidence was at most a mistaken judgment as to trial strategy and cannot be characterized as ineffective assistance of counsel (compare People v Bell, 48 N.Y.2d 933, 935; People v Aiken, 45 N.Y.2d 394).
