June 2, 2003.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (DeRosa, J.), rendered September 5, 2000, convicting him of murder in the second degree (two counts), reckless endangerment in the first degree, and endangering the welfare of a child, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Lisa H. Blitman, New York, N.Y., for appellant.
Francis D. Phillips II, District Attorney, Goshen, N.Y. (Daniel M. Reback of counsel), for respondent.
Before: A. GAIL PRUDENTI, P.J., DAVID S. RITTER, NANCY E. SMITH, BARRY A. COZIER, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence 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 sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contentions either are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
PRUDENTI, P.J., RITTER, SMITH and COZIER, JJ., concur.
