People v. Patterson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 28, 1993
194 A.D.2d 812 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

June 28, 1993

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the evidence was not legally sufficient is not preserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05). In any event, 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. Contrary to the defendant's contention, the accomplice's testimony was more than amply corroborated by the defendant's confession and his letter to the District Attorney requesting "one more chance" (see, People v. Burgin, 40 N.Y.2d 953). Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15).

We have reviewed the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Rosenblatt, J.P., Copertino, Pizzuto and Joy, JJ., concur.
