People v. Lahara

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 29, 1995
222 A.D.2d 700 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

December 29, 1995

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that there was insufficient evidence to support her conviction of felony murder as there was insufficient evidence of the underlying felony of robbery or attempted robbery. This contention is without merit. 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 (see, People v Davis, 182 A.D.2d 771). 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 remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Balletta, J.P., O'Brien, Santucci and Florio, JJ., concur.
