People v. Knox

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 25, 1999
265 A.D.2d 577 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

Argued September 14, 1999

October 25, 1999

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Lange, J.).


ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05[2]; People v. Bynum, 70 N.Y.2d 858, 859 ). In any event, 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 beyond a reasonable doubt. 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[5]).

Further, contrary to the defendant's contention, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80 ).

The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are either unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05[2]) or without merit.

MANGANO, P.J., O'BRIEN, RITTER, and SCHMIDT, JJ., concur.
