People v. Jones

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 17, 1986
124 A.D.2d 749 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

November 17, 1986

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Egitto, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that his guilt was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt is without merit. The jury was free to accept some, if not all, of the complainant's testimony (see, e.g., People v Jackson, 65 N.Y.2d 265).

Also without merit is the defendant's contention that the court erred when it permitted the People to introduce into evidence his postarrest threat to kill the complainant (see, People v Barksdale, 100 A.D.2d 852).

Finally, we decline to exercise our discretion to modify the defendant's sentence. Mangano, J.P., Niehoff, Kooper and Spatt, JJ., concur.
