215 A.D.2d 405; 626 N.Y.S.2d 967; 1995 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 4728
People v. Kortright

Opinion of the Court

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lipp, J.), rendered September 8, 1992, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

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 beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant acted in concert with others to commit murder. *406Moreover, 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 is neither unduly harsh nor excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Thompson, J. P., Santucci, Friedmann and Florio, JJ., concur.
