Opinion
March 7, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Felig, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, his guilt was proven beyond a reasonable doubt. 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).
Further, the court properly rejected the defendant's request to charge the jury on the lesser included offense of attempted larceny. No reasonable view of the evidence presented at trial supported such a charge (see, People v. Robinson, 60 N.Y.2d 982; People v. Olivo, 52 N.Y.2d 309).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Miller, J.P., Copertino, Santucci and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
