People v. Gonzalez

209 A.D.2d 431, 619 N.Y.S.2d 589, 1994 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 10963

Opinion

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Feldman, J.), rendered July 12, 1991, convicting him of rape in the first degree, sodomy in the first degree, assault in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, robbery in the first degree, and sexual abuse in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).

We have considered the defendant’s remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J. P., Balletta, Rosenblatt and Florio, JJ., concur.
