Opinion
May 30, 2000
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Blumenfeld, J.), rendered July 8, 1998, convicting him of reckless endangerment in the first degree (six counts) and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.
Before: O'Brien, J.P., Santucci, Thompson and Feuerstein, JJ.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant failed to preserve for appellate review his argument that the evidence was legally insufficient to convict him of reckless endangerment in the first degree and of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Stahl, 53 N.Y.2d 1048). 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 beyond a reasonable doubt ( see, Penal Law § 20.00; People v. Flayhart, 72 N.Y.2d 737; People v. Pringle, 157 A.D.2d 865). 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 remaining contention is without merit.
