People v. Belk

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 7, 1997
238 A.D.2d 346 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

April 7, 1997


Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Starkey, J.), rendered November 3, 1995, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the court erred in its charge on reasonable doubt is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05). In any event, the defendant's claim is meritless. The charge, as a whole, contained extensive, accurate instructions on the burden of proof and conveyed the correct standard ( see, People v. Fields, 87 N.Y.2d 821).

The defendant's sentence was not excessive ( see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Ritter, J.P., Altman, Krausman and Luciano, JJ., concur.
