People v. Taylor

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 2, 1986
121 A.D.2d 413 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

June 2, 1986

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Chetta, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

Upon a review of the record, we find that legally sufficient evidence was presented upon which, viewed in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620, 621).

Moreover, even if error was committed by the prosecution in summation, it was harmless, in light of the overwhelming proof of guilt (see, People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230, 237). Gibbons, J.P., Weinstein, Eiber and Kooper, JJ., concur.
