People v. Fields , 152 A.D.2d 958 ( 1989 )

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: There is no merit to defendant’s claim that the court erred in denying his requests for a missing witness charge. It is not incumbent upon the prosecution " 'to call at trial every witness to a crime or to make a complete and detailed accounting to the defense of all law enforcement investigatory work’ ” (People v Buckler, 39 NY2d 895, 897). Where, as here, there was no showing that the uncalled witness would have given different testimony, there was no need for the People to call both detectives who witnessed the oral admission (see, People v Buckler, supra; People v Porter, 110 AD2d 662; People v Shippee, 87 AD2d 942). Moreover, defendant knew the identity of Detective Ruvio and chose not to call him. In addition, Officer Bevere testified as a prosecution witness and defendant did not cross-examine him on this issue. The sentence imposed is not harsh or excessive considering defendant’s extensive criminal history.
