People v. Geattys

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jan 10, 1994
200 A.D.2d 585 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

January 10, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Starkey, 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. 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 (CPL 470.15).

Further, the defendant's claim that the trial court improperly marshalled the evidence in the prosecution's favor is meritless. The court is not required to explain all the contentions of both parties or outline all inconsistencies in the evidence (see, People v. Saunders, 64 N.Y.2d 665), and is only required to provide, in its discretion, a sufficient statement of facts to explain, as far as is practicable, the application of the law to the facts (see, CPL 300.10). We find no improvident exercise of that discretion.

We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find that they do not require reversal. Bracken, J.P., Sullivan, Miller and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
