People v. Dorsey

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 6, 1988
141 A.D.2d 559 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

June 6, 1988

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (O'Brien, J.).


Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

The defendant contends that the jury verdict with respect to robbery in the first degree was against the weight of the evidence. Upon the exercise of our factual review power (see, CPL 470.15), we find that the evidence adduced at trial clearly establishes that the defendant participated in the gunpoint robbery of the complainant (see, People v Griffin, 137 A.D.2d 558, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 1006). He ascertained whether any police were around and remained at the door as a lookout. "Just a matter of seconds" later, he returned alone and robbed the complainant again, and subsequently returned yet again with his accomplices to threaten the complainant.

We have considered the defendant's other contentions and find them to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Kunzeman, Rubin and Spatt, JJ., concur.
