Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 6, 1999
267 A.D.2d 255 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

Submitted November 4, 1999

December 6, 1999

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Buchter, J.), rendered April 23, 1996, convicting her of assault in the first degree (two counts), criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and aggravated harassment in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Dale Black Pennington, Forest Hills, N.Y., for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano and Patricia M. Theodorou of counsel), for respondent.

LAWRENCE J. BRACKEN, J.P., WILLIAM C. THOMPSON, WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

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. Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the People established that the defendant intended to cause serious physical injury by means of a dangerous instrument and to cause serious and permanent disfigurement ( see, People v. Wade, 187 A.D.2d 687).

The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review, without merit, or do not require reversal.

BRACKEN, J.P., THOMPSON, FRIEDMANN, and SMITH, JJ., concur.
