People v. Hammonds

244 A.D.2d 424, 665 N.Y.S.2d 552, 664 N.Y.S.2d 315, 1997 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 11243

Opinion

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Tomlinson, J.), rendered April 15, 1996, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the third 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]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions lack merit or have been waived. Mangano, P. J., Bracken, Altman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
