Opinion
December 23, 1988
Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Celli, J.
Present — Callahan, J.P., Doerr, Boomer, Green and Lawton, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant's convictions for grand larceny in the second degree were supported by legally sufficient evidence (CPL 70.10). Viewing the evidence, as we must, in the light most favorable to the People, we find that it provided a rational trier of fact with a valid line of reasoning to sustain the convictions (People v Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495). Further, the trial court properly refrained from charging the moral certainty standard because defendant's convictions were based on both direct and circumstantial evidence (People v Barnes, 50 N.Y.2d 375, 379-380).
