People v. Bermudez

117 A.D.2d 814, 499 N.Y.S.2d 618, 1986 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 53086

• Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
• Decided: February 24, 1986
• Status: Published

Opinion

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Moskowitz, J.), rendered January 7, 1983, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Judgment affirmed.

On this record, we cannot say, viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the People, that any rational trier of fact could not have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt (see, Jackson v Virginia, 443 US 307, 319).

We have examined the defendant’s remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Lazer, J. P., Thompson, Weinstein and Eiber, JJ., concur.
