People v. Hawkins

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 26, 1989
151 A.D.2d 781 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

June 26, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Lakritz, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt. 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 defendant's sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Bracken, J.P., Rubin, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
