People v. Ballard

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jan 25, 1993
189 A.D.2d 878 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

January 25, 1993

Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Jonas, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (see, People v. Spruill, 155 A.D.2d 706; People v. Bullard, 59 A.D.2d 786; cf., People v. Collins, 150 A.D.2d 476). 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).

Additionally, we find that the sentence imposed was neither harsh nor excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Bracken, J.P., Rosenblatt, O'Brien and Copertino, JJ., concur.
