People v. Alexander
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided August 24, 1998
253 A.D.2d 528; 676 N.Y.S.2d 878; 1998 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 9094
People v. Alexander

Opinion of the Court

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Ferdinand, J.), rendered May 22, 1995, convicting him of manslaughter in the first degree, attempted murder in the second degree, assault in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the third 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 remaining contentions are without merit. O’Brien, J. P., Santucci, Joy and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
