Opinion
October 19, 1998
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Boklan, J.).
Ordered that the judgment and the amended judgments are affirmed.
Viewing the evidence adduced at the trial under Indictment No. 93903 in the light most favorable to the prosecution ( 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. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence ( see, CPL 470.15).
The testimony regarding the large amount of cash recovered from the defendant was properly admitted as it was probative of the count of the indictment charging him with criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell ( see, People v. Brown, 214 A.D.2d 579, 580; People v. Rivera, 177 A.D.2d 662).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
Bracken, J. P., Copertino, Thompson and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
