People v. Hawkins , 543 N.Y.S.2d 948 ( 1989 )


Menu:
  • Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Lakritz, J.), rendered January 26, 1984, convicting him of assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon 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 prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt. 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 [5]).

    The defendant’s sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80). Bracken, J. P., Rubin, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
