People v. Jackson
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided November 8, 1993
198 A.D.2d 303; 604 N.Y.S.2d 821
People v. Jackson

Opinion of the Court

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Mackston, J.), rendered May 8, 1991, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence adduced at trial in a light most favorable to the People, we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621). 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 [5]).

The defendant’s sentence is not excessive. Lawrence, J. P., Fiber, O’Brien and Santucci, JJ., concur.
