People v. Cofield
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Herbert Altman, J.), rendered April 16, 1991, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of assault in the first degree, and sentencing her to a term of 5 to 15 years, unanimously affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People and giving them the benefit of every reasonable infer*452ence (People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621), the People established beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant evinced a depraved indifference to human life in pushing the victim onto subway tracks during rush hour (see, People v Roe, 74 NY2d 20, 24-25).
