Opinion
May 21, 1990
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Rosato, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence adduced at trial in a light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to support the defendant's guilt of burglary in the second degree. While the defendant attempted to explain his knowing, recent, and exclusive possession of certain items which had been stolen from the complainant's house, the jury could properly reject such evidence (see, People v. Baskerville, 60 N.Y.2d 374, 383; People v. Miller, 114 A.D.2d 863).
The defendant's other contentions are either without merit or unpreserved for appellate review as a matter of law (CPL 470.05), and we decline to review them in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction. Thompson, J.P., Bracken, Lawrence and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
