People v. Castro

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 30, 2000
272 A.D.2d 623 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

May 30, 2000

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Pincus, J.), rendered July 24, 1997, convicting him of murder in the second degree and attempted murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Before: Bracken, J.P., Sullivan, Altman and McGinity, JJ.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People ( see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), 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 sentence imposed was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
