People v. Blount

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 30, 1998
248 A.D.2d 719 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

March 30, 1998

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The issue of legal sufficiency of the evidence as it relates to a September 10, 1993, robbery was not preserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Tallarine, 223 A.D.2d 738; People v. Udzinski, 146 A.D.2d 245, 248). In any event, 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 of that robbery beyond a reasonable doubt. The evidence was also legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt of a September 3, 1993, robbery 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 are without merit.

Joy, J. P., Krausman, Florio and Luciano, JJ., concur.
