Opinion
November 13, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Cohen, J.).
Ordered that the judgment and amended judgment are affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620, 621), 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 court properly denied the defendant's challenges for cause to two prospective jurors, as there was no evidence that they had "a state of mind that [was] likely to preclude [them] from rendering an impartial verdict based upon the evidence adduced at the trial" (CPL 270.20 [b]).
The sentences imposed were not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. O'Brien, J.P., Pizzuto, Santucci and Krausman, JJ., concur.
