People v. Mercado
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (LaCava, J.), rendered December 17, 1991, convicting him of 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 prosecution (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 exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence…
