Manzanet–Daniels, J.P., Gische, Webber, Moulton, JJ.

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v. Danielson , 9 N.Y.3d 342, 348–349, 849 N.Y.S.2d 480, 880 N.E.2d 1 [2007] ). The jury's mixed verdict does not warrant a different conclusion (see People v. Abraham , 22 N.Y.3d 140, 147, 978 N.Y.S.2d 723, 1 N.E.3d 797 [2013] ; People v. Rayam , 94 N.Y.2d 557, 708 N.Y.S.2d 37, 729 N.E.2d 694 [2000] ; People v. Johnson , 73 A.D.3d 578, 580, 901 N.Y.S.2d 596 [1st Dept. 2010], lv denied 15 N.Y.3d 893, 912 N.Y.S.2d 582, 938 N.E.2d 1017 [2010] ). There was ample evidence of defendant's criminal negligence, including that after drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana, defendant, whose license had been suspended, drove far above the speed limit on a rainy night and killed a pedestrian (see People v. Loughlin , 76 N.Y.2d 804, 807, 559 N.Y.S.2d 962, 559 N.E.2d 656 [1990] ).
