People v. Pizarro
297 A.D.2d 826, 748 N.Y.2d 59, 748 N.Y.S.2d 59, 2002 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 8853
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided September 30, 2002·Published·Cited by 2 cases
Opinion
Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the People adduced legally sufficient evidence to disprove his justification defense beyond a reasonable doubt (see Penal Law § 35.15 [2] [a]; People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620). Moreover, the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see CPL 470.15 [5]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
The defendant’s remaining contention is without merit. Ritter, J.P., Krausman, McGinity and Luciano, JJ., concur.
