People v. Martino

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Demakos, J.), rendered November 20, 1997, convicting him of murder in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, tampering with the evidence (two counts), grand larceny in the fourth degree, and petit larceny, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
