People v. Castro , 709 N.Y.S.2d 414 ( 2000 )


Menu:
  • —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Pincus, J.), rendered July 24, 1997, convicting him of murder *624in the second degree and attempted murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

    Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

    Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercisé 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 [5]).

    The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

    The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Bracken, J. P., Sullivan, Altman and McGinity, JJ., concur.
