People v. Williams
Opinion of the Court
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (West, J.), rendered December 18, 2002, convicting him of murder in the second degree (two counts), robbery in the first degree (two counts), burglary in the first degree (two counts), criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant’s contention, his motion pursuant
We reject the defendant’s contention that there was insufficient evidence to corroborate the testimony of an accomplice (see CPL 60.22). “[T]he testimony from the accomplice witness was sufficiently corroborated by evidence from . . . independent source [s] tending to connect the defendant with the crime in such a way that the jury may be reasonably satisfied that the accomplice [was] telling the truth” (People v Nylander, 21 AD3d 500, 501 [2005] [citations and internal quotation marks omitted]; see People v Daniels, 37 NY2d 624, 629-630 [1975]). Miller, J.P., Ritter, Spolzino and Dillon, JJ., concur.
