People v. Hood

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jan 11, 1988
136 A.D.2d 569 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

January 11, 1988

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The evidence, when viewed in a light most favorable to the People, was legally sufficient to support the defendant's conviction (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620). Moreover, upon exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the defendant's guilt was established beyond a reasonable doubt and that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15).

We find that the prosecutor's comments did not deny defendant a fair trial in view of the overwhelming evidence of his guilt (see, People v Wood, 66 N.Y.2d 374).

The sentence which was imposed was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 85).

We find the defendant's remaining contention to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Kunzeman, Spatt and Harwood, JJ., concur.
