Opinion
December 4, 1989
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Turner, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to 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).
The trial evidence established that both burglarized residences were entered through bedroom windows, and that the fingerprints found on those windows matched the defendant's fingerprints. There was no indication that the fingerprints were placed there innocently. Therefore, the jury was justified in finding the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt (see, People v Riddick, 130 A.D.2d 780; People v Mercado, 117 A.D.2d 627).
We have reviewed the defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, and find that they do not require a new trial. Mangano, J.P., Thompson, Spatt and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
