People v. Policano

277 A.D.2d 331, 715 N.Y.S.2d 880

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided November 13, 2000·Published·Cited by 7 cases

Opinion

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Martin, J.), rendered March 16, 1998, convicting him of 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 [332] 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]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Ritter, J. P., Santucci, Krausman and Smith, JJ., concur.
