People v. McRae

215 A.D.2d 593, 627 N.Y.S.2d 928, 1995 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 5111

Opinion

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Miller, J.), rendered February 17, 1993, convicting him of attempted murder in the second 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 470.05 [5]).

The defendant’s sentence was not excessive. Sullivan, J. P., Copertino, Goldstein and Florio, JJ., concur.
