People v. Correa

304 A.D.2d 484, 757 N.Y.S.2d 734, 2003 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 4472

Opinion

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Robert Cohen, J.), rendered September 20, 2000, convicting defendant, after a nonjury trial, of criminally negligent homicide, leaving the scene of an incident without reporting, driving without a license, driving the wrong way on a one-way street and reckless driving, and sentencing him to an aggregate term of 21/3 to 7 years, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490 [1987]). There is no basis for disturbing the court’s determinations concerning credibility. Evidence properly credited by the court clearly established defendant’s guilt of criminally negligent homicide (see People v Boutin, 75 NY2d 692 [1990]).

We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence. Concur— Buckley, P.J., Mazzarelli, Ellerin, Williams and Gonzalez, JJ.
