CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division
PartiesTHE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent,<BR>v.<BR>DAVID COLLIC, Appellant.

O'Brien, J. P., Krausman, Smith and Adams, JJ., concur.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the Supreme Court properly admitted into evidence photographs depicting the murder victim. The photographs were admitted to indicate to the jury the location and extent of the victim's wounds, to help establish the People's case that the victim was killed intentionally, and to corroborate the medical examiner's testimony (see, People v Wood, 79 NY2d 958; People v Pobliner, 32 NY2d 356; People v DeBerry, 234 AD2d 470; People v Ponce, 213 AD2d 725).
