HOWSE
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of possession of heroin with intent to deliver. Court properly denied Defendant's motion to compel disclosure of officer's surveillance location, based on conclusion that concern for officer and public safety outweighed Defendant's interest in disclosure; and Defendant did not show that exact surveillance location was material or necessary to his defense. (McBRIDE, concurring; EPSTEIN, specially concurring.)
