People v. Jefferson

286 A.D.2d 613, 730 N.Y.S.2d 222, 2001 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 8573

Opinion

—Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Lawrence Bernstein, J.), rendered September 17, 1998, convicting defendant, after a nonjury trial, of aggravated harassment of an employee by an inmate, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 21/2 to 5 years, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. The evidence, including credible testimony concerning a threat made by defendant, clearly established that defendant intentionally squirted urine at a correction officer (see, People v Bracey, 41 NY2d 296). Concur — Rubin, J. P., Saxe, Buckley, Friedman and Marlow, JJ.
