People v. Broadwater

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department

259 A.D.2d 1053 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

March 31, 1999

Appeal from Judgment of Onondaga County Court, Fahey, J. — Robbery, 2nd Degree.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him of robbery in the second degree (Penal Law § 160.10[a]). We reject defendant's contention that the evidence is legally insufficient to establish that the victim sustained a physical injury within the meaning of Penal Law § 10.00(9). The victim sustained a one-inch laceration to his wrist that required medical attention and a jammed thumb that swelled and "hurt like hell" for several days, impeding his work ( see, People v. Sekoll, 254 A.D.2d 797). We further conclude that the verdict is not against the weight of the evidence ( see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495). Defendant's contention that County Court erred in failing to give an adverse inference instruction is not preserved for our review ( see, CPL 470.05), and we decline to exercise our power to review that contention as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see, CPL 470.15[a]).

Present — Pine, J. P., Hayes, Wisner, Hurlbutt and Scudder, JJ.
