People v. Griffin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 18, 1994
203 A.D.2d 478 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

April 18, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Posner, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the People failed to disprove his alibi defense beyond a reasonable doubt is not preserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v Udzinski, 146 A.D.2d 245). In any event, the defendant's contention is without merit since the People disproved the alibi beyond a reasonable doubt.

Viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that the evidence is legally sufficient to prove the defendant's guilt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict is not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15).

We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit. Lawrence, J.P., O'Brien, Joy and Florio, JJ., concur.
