People v. Cooper

Full title: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. WAYNE COOPER, Appellant

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

Date published: Jun 4, 1985

112 A.D.2d 2 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

June 4, 1985

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Corning, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Hancock, Jr., Callahan, Green and Pine, JJ.

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment of conviction, after a jury trial, of criminal possession of stolen property in the first degree (Penal Law § 165.50), arguing that the evidence was legally insufficient and that the court's supplemental charge was erroneous.

The evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v. Kennedy, 47 N.Y.2d 196), was legally sufficient to establish each element of the crime. Defendant's challenges involve issues of credibility, not legal sufficiency.

We have considered the other points raised and find them to be without merit.
