People v. Soto

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Dec 3, 1992
188 A.D.2d 304 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

December 3, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Edward M. Davidowitz, J.).


Viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the People and giving due deference to the jury's findings on credibility under the standards set forth in People v Bleakley ( 69 N.Y.2d 490, 494-495), defendant's guilt was proved beyond a reasonable doubt by overwhelming evidence, and the verdict was not against the weight of that evidence. Defendant's challenges to the prosecutor's summation are unpreserved either because he failed to object at all (People v Trail, 172 A.D.2d 320, lv denied 78 N.Y.2d 975), made only general objection (People v Balls, 69 N.Y.2d 641), or failed to except to the curative relief provided (People v Medina, 53 N.Y.2d 951, 952). Nor do we find any basis to disturb the sentencing court's sound exercise of discretion. We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Carro, J.P., Ellerin, Kupferman and Kassal, JJ.
