People v. Rivera

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 5, 1992
186 A.D.2d 596 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

October 5, 1992

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contentions, his guilt of burglary in the first degree was proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Viewing the evidence adduced at trial in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to support the conviction. 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; People v Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495).

The defendant's sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Mangano, P.J., Harwood, Miller and Santucci, JJ., concur.
