People v. Smith
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided April 24, 1995
214 A.D.2d 755; 625 N.Y.S.2d 948; 1995 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 4495
People v. Smith

Opinion of the Court

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (J. Goldberg, J.), rendered September 24, 1992, convicting him of attempted robbery in the second degree (two counts), attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, 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 are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).

The defendant’s sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are either unpre*756served for appellate review or without merit. Sullivan, J. P., O’Brien, Ritter and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
