January 13, 2000
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Joseph Cerbone, J.), rendered May 22, 1997, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of murder in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of 20 years to life, unanimously affirmed.
Heather Kenney for Respondent.
Larry Sheehan for Defendant-Appellant.
SULLIVAN, J.P., WILLIAMS, RUBIN, BUCKLEY, FRIEDMAN, JJ.
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. We see no reason to disturb the jury's determinations concerning credibility and identification.
On the existing record, which defendant has not sought to amplify by means of a CPL 440.10 motion, we find that defendant received meaningful representation.
We perceive no abuse of sentencing discretion.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
