People v. Williams
Opinion of the Court
Appeal by defendant from a
Judgment affirmed.
Defendant contends that his conviction of robbery in the third degree was contrary to the weight and sufficiency of the evidence. We disagree. The evidence adduced at trial, when viewed in the light most favorable to the People, is sufficient to establish defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621). We also find no merit to defendant’s contention that the second felony offender statute (Penal Law § 70.06) is unconstitutional (People v Vasquez, 104 AD2d 1012). Mollen, P. J., Mangano, Gibbons and Bracken, JJ., concur.
