People v. Smillie

231 A.D.2d 654, 647 N.Y.S.2d 954, 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 9422

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided September 23, 1996·Published

Opinion

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Meyerson, J.), rendered January 25, 1993, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the first degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and endangering the welfare of a child, 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.

While the defendant raises several claims of error in connec[655] tion with the court’s charge, we perceive none. Overall, the court’s instructions adequately apprised the jury of the applicable law (see, People v Dory, 59 NY2d 121, 129).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Miller, J. P., Pizzuto, Joy and McGinity, JJ., concur.
