138 A.D.2d 740 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

March 28, 1988

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Grajales, J.).

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 was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15).

We find that the court's charge as to evidence of good character was proper (see, People v. Aharonowicz, 133 A.D.2d 117, lv granted 70 N.Y.2d 748). Brown, J.P., Kunzeman, Kooper and Balletta, JJ., concur.
