People v. Mohammed

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jan 20, 1987
126 A.D.2d 673 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

January 20, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Demakos, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is modified, on the law, by vacating the sentence imposed. As so modified, the judgment is affirmed, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for resentencing in accordance herewith.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People, and giving the People the benefit of every inference to be drawn therefrom, the jury reasonably concluded that the People had proven, to a moral certainty (see, People v. Betancourt, 68 N.Y.2d 707), that the defendant had shot her estranged lover to death.

Where a defendant is indicted on several counts of an indictment, sentence must be pronounced on each count upon which he or she is convicted (see, People v. Charles, 98 A.D.2d 780). Since that was not done here, the defendant must be resentenced.

The defendant's other contentions are either unpreserved or without merit. Mangano, J.P., Niehoff, Lawrence and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
