People v. Young

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 13, 1988
141 A.D.2d 686 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

June 13, 1988

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Sherman, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the evidence introduced at the trial was legally insufficient is without merit. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), the evidence was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we find that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15).

Further, the trial court properly refused to consider the lesser included offense of criminal trespass in the third degree since there was no reasonable view of the evidence which could have supported a finding that the defendant committed the lesser offense but not the greater (see, People v Glover, 57 N.Y.2d 61). Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Eiber and Spatt, JJ., concur.
