People v. McDowell
Opinion of the Court
—Appeals by the defendant from three judgments of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Colabella, J.), all rendered January 19, 1996, convicting him of (1) criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree under Indictment No. 94-01184, after a nonjury trial, (2) attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (two counts), crim
Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
The defendant’s contention that his guilt under Indictment Nos. 94-01184 and 95-00899 was not proven by legally sufficient evidence is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05 [2]). In any event, 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]).
