People v. Ross

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 28, 1997
238 A.D.2d 609 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

April 28, 1997


Appeal by the defendant from (1) a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Cowhey, J.), rendered June 6, 1995, convicting him of hindering prosecution in the first degree under Indictment No. 93-01824, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence, and (2) an amended judgment of the same court, also rendered June 6, 1995, revoking a sentencing of probation previously imposed by the same court, upon a finding that he had violated a condition thereof, upon his admission, and imposing a sentence of imprisonment upon his previous conviction of criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree under Indictment No. 93-00509.

Ordered that the judgment and the amended judgment are affirmed.

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 under Indictment No. 93-01824 beyond a reasonable doubt. Under the circumstances of this case there was sufficient evidence from which a jury could conclude that the defendant was one of the people preventing the police from gaining entry into the apartment building and that the defendant rendered criminal assistance to a person who had committed a class A felony knowing or believing that such person had engaged in conduct constituting a class A felony.

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. O'Brien, J.P., Ritter, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
