Opinion
May 1, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Egitto, 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 is 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 of guilt is not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15).
The trial court did not err by failing to give an expanded identification charge. The charge that was given properly instructed the jury about the People's burden of proving identification beyond a reasonable doubt and the general factors relevant to the witnesses' veracity and the accuracy of their observations (see, People v Washington, 209 A.D.2d 733).
We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Sullivan, J.P., O'Brien, Ritter and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
