People v. Adams

—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621), is legally sufficient to support defendant’s conviction of assault in the second degree (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). Defendant’s intent may be inferred from defendant’s words and conduct and from the surrounding circumstances (see, Penal Law § 15.05 [1]; People v Smith, 79 NY2d 309, 315; People v Alexander; 190 AD2d 1052, 1052-1053, lv denied 81 NY2d 967).

We conclude that the sentence imposed is neither unduly harsh nor severe.…
