People v. Wentz

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Feb 3, 1989
147 A.D.2d 941 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

February 3, 1989

Appeal from the Ontario County Court, Henry, Jr., J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Callahan, Denman, Green and Lawton, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him of attempted first degree manslaughter and related crimes, defendant argues that the People failed to prove his criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt (see, Penal Law § 30.05 [1] [a], [b] [repealed L 1984, ch 668, § 1, eff Nov. 1, 1984]). We disagree. It was for the jury to resolve the conflicting expert testimony and the record, viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), establishes that the evidence was legally sufficient to support the verdict (see, People v Bruetsch, 137 A.D.2d 823, 824, lv denied 72 N.Y.2d 857; People v Caggiano, 129 A.D.2d 992).
