People v. Piper

244 A.D.2d 512, 665 N.Y.S.2d 921, 1997 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 11550

Opinion

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Jonas, J.), rendered May 22, 1995, convicting him of robbery in the first degree (two counts), 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 was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Mangano, P. J., Rosenblatt, Pizzuto and Luciano, JJ., concur.
