People v. Morrison

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 24, 2000
271 A.D.2d 701 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

April 24, 2000.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Vaughan, J.), rendered June 2, 1997, convicting him of manslaughter in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Sullivan, J. P., Florio, Luciano and Feuerstein, JJ., concur.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the evidence was legally insufficient to support his conviction is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Gray, 86 N.Y.2d 10; People v. Bynum, 70 N.Y.2d 858). 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).

The' sentence imposed was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
