People v. King

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 6, 2004
3 A.D.3d 324 (N.Y. App. Div. 2004)

Opinion

2647.

Decided January 6, 2004.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Charles Solomon, J.), rendered September 29, 2000, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of robbery in the first degree, and sentencing him, as a second violent felony offender, to a term of 20 years, unanimously affirmed.

Sheryl Feldman, for Respondent.

Lisa Joy Robertson, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before: Mazzarelli, J.P., Andrias, Saxe, Williams, Friedman, JJ.


The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence ( see People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490). There is no basis for disturbing the jury's determinations concerning identification and credibility. The People presented identification testimony by two witnesses, the victim and a store clerk, both of whom had ample opportunity to view defendant, and an accomplice who also testified against defendant.

We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
