People v. Quinones
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided June 14, 2004
8 A.D.3d 501; 778 N.Y.S.2d 293; 2004 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 8486
People v. Quinones

Opinion of the Court

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (McCann, J.), rendered November 13, 2002, convicting him of murder in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence, including a videotaped confession, in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see People v Contes, *50260 NY2d 620 [1983]), 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 sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Altman, J.P., Smith, Krausman and Skelos, JJ., concur.
