April 14, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Juanita Bing Newton, J.).
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620, 621), a rational trier of fact could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime charged (People v Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, cert denied 469 U.S. 932), since the officers observed the defendant exiting the victim's brownstone and entering a service alley with a brown bag later identified as belonging to the victim and which had been purloined from her residence.
Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Ellerin, Ross, Asch and Tom, JJ.
