People v. James
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided March 28, 1988
138 A.D.2d 745; 526 N.Y.S.2d 786; 1988 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 3316
People v. James

Opinion of the Court

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Douglass, J.), rendered May 15, 1986, convicting him of burglary in the first degree and petit larceny, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 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 find that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]; see also, People v James, 112 AD2d 380). Brown, J. P., Kunzeman, Kooper and Balletta, JJ., concur.
