Opinion
August 10, 1987
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Collins, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Our review of the record reveals that independent evidence was introduced at trial which corroborated the accomplice's testimony so as to fairly and reasonably connect the defendant to the commission of the crimes charged (see, CPL 60.22; People v Moses, 63 N.Y.2d 299, 306; People v. Hudson, 51 N.Y.2d 233, 238-239; People v. Daniels, 37 N.Y.2d 624, 630).
Further, upon the exercise of our factual review power we are satisfied that the evidence established the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15).
We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Eiber and Spatt, JJ., concur.
