Seymour W. James, Jr., The Legal Aid Society, New York (Bonnie C. Brennan of counsel), for appellant.
Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney, Bronx (Rebecca L. Johannesen of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Ralph Fabrizio, J. at speedy trial motion; Robert E. Torres, J. at nonjury trial and sentencing), rendered July 11, 2007, convicting defendant of attempted assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of one year's probation, with restitution and community service, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the court's credibility determinations. The record demonstrates that the People disproved the defense of justification beyond a reasonable doubt.
Defendant's challenges to the court's denial of his speedy
trial motion are unpreserved (see e.g. People v Luperon, 85 NY2d 71, 77-78 [1995]), and we decline to review them in the interest of justice.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
