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.
