People v. Percinthe
Opinion of the Court
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lipp, J.), rendered September 5, 1991, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is reversed, on the law, and a new trial is ordered. The facts have been considered and are determined to have been established.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (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 are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).
Reversal is required, however, based upon the court’s submission of a verdict sheet which included the words "aided” and "display” following the two counts of robbery in the
We find no merit to the defendant’s remaining contentions. Miller, J. P., O’Brien, Ritter and Krausman, JJ., concur.
