People v. Fraticelli

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 8, 1991
172 A.D.2d 622 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

April 8, 1991

Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Nicolai, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. We disagree.

At around 5:00 A.M., on April 10, 1987, moments after an alarm sounded, a Yonkers police officer saw the defendant with his arm partially through a jagged hole in the glass door entrance to a restaurant. After apprehending the defendant, the police noticed that both his hand and the glass door were bloody. The evidence was sufficient to establish that the defendant, who had no authorization to enter upon the premises, entered the restaurant with the intent to commit a larceny therein (see, Penal Law § 140.40; People v. King, 61 N.Y.2d 550, 555; People v. Barnes, 50 N.Y.2d 375, 381; People v. Mitchell, 151 A.D.2d 699).

We have examined the defendant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit. Mangano, P.J., Lawrence, Rosenblatt and Miller, JJ., concur.
