Is there any case law in which a defendant has been successful in admitting testimony by three police officers that the victim pointed to defendants?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Mobley, 435 N.E.2d 672, 450 N.Y.S.2d 302, 56 N.Y.2d 584 (N.Y. 1982):

Defendants argue that the trial court erred in admitting certain testimony by three police officers. The officers testified, over objection, that the victim pointed to defendants when he confronted them shortly after the robbery. There is no question that the testimony of the officers improperly bolstered the victim's testimony. As such, it should have been excluded (see People v. Trowbridge, 305 N.Y. 471, 113 N.E.2d 841). That the officers described the victim's gestures, rather than his oral statements, is immaterial.
