Opinion
No. 2005-09645.
June 26, 2007.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (LaPera, J.), rendered September 28, 2005, convicting her of burglary in the first degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree (seven counts), and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Joseph R. Faraguna, Sag Harbor, N.Y., for appellant.
Kathleen M. Rice, District Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Judith R. Sternberg and Andrea M. DiGregorio of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Miller, J.P., Mastro, Krausman and Carni, JJ.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence is unpreserved for appellate review, as her general motions to dismiss at the close of the People's case and at the close of all the evidence failed to specify any grounds for dismissal ( see CPL 470.05; People v Logan, 74 NY2d 859). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution ( see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 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 ( see CPL 470.15), we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence ( see People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633).
The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
