People v. Pimental

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 11, 1996
225 A.D.2d 637 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

March 11, 1996

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The complainant was robbed at gunpoint in her home. Approximately one month after the crime, the complainant identified the defendant in a lineup as the perpetrator.

The defendant's challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v Gray, 86 N.Y.2d 10, 19). 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 on all counts 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 defendant's sentence is not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

The defendant's remaining contention is without merit. Balletta, J.P., Sullivan, Joy and Krausman, JJ., concur.
