People v. Johnson

208 A.D.2d 469, 617 N.Y.S.2d 325, 1994 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 10534

Opinion

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Harold Rothwax, J.), rendered December 11, 1991, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of robbery in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a persistent felony offender, to a term of 15 years to life, unanimously affirmed.

The jury’s finding that defendant committed a robbery is supported by the testimony of eyewitnesses. Contrary to defendant’s contention, there is no requirement that the victim testify (see, e.g., People v Hall, 196 AD2d 792, lv denied 82 NY2d 850).

We have considered defendant’s other contentions and find them to be without merit. Concur—Carro, J. P., Rosenberger, Ellerin, Nardelli and Tom, JJ.
