225 A.D.2d 562, 639 N.Y.2d 724, 639 N.Y.S.2d 724, 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 1813

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided March 4, 1996·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

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]).

Further, contrary to the defendant’s contention, the defendant was not deprived of the effective assistance of counsel (see, People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137).

We have examined the defendant’s remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Balletta, J. P., Thompson, Pizzuto and Altman, JJ., concur.
