People v. Brown

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 2, 1991
178 A.D.2d 420 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

December 2, 1991

Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Cowhey, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. In this regard, we note that the complainant's testimony demonstrated that the defendant used physical force during the commission of the robbery (see, e.g., People v Crespo, 158 A.D.2d 466; People v Johnstone, 131 A.D.2d 782). Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15). Thompson, J.P., Bracken, Sullivan and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
