People v. Mitchiner

Opinion of the Court

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hall, J.), rendered May 30, 1996, 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 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 (see, People v Williams, 84 NY2d 925, 926). 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 sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are either without merit or do not require reversal. O’Brien, J. P., Thompson, H. Miller and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
