People v. Branch

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 27, 1989
147 A.D.2d 708 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

February 27, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Walsh, J.).


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. In addition to the circumstantial evidence which revealed that a break-in had occurred, the defendant in his statements to the police admitted that he had entered the complainant's home intending to steal cash which he hoped to find there. Thompson, J.P., Kunzeman, Spatt and Balletta, JJ., concur.
