People v. Jabbar

99 A.D.3d 448, 951 N.Y.2d 395

• Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
• Decided: October 4, 2012
• Status: Published

Opinion

We reject defendant’s challenges to the sufficiency and weight of the evidence supporting the robbery conviction (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the jury’s credibility determinations. The evidence amply supported the conclusion that, after unsuccessfully attempting to take the victim’s money by way of a confidence game, defendant took the money by force (see e.g. People v Spencer, 255 AD2d 167 [1st Dept 1998], lv denied 93 NY2d 879 [1999]).

We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence. Concur— Andrias, J.E, Sweeny, Catterson, Moskowitz and ManzanetDaniels, JJ.
