People v. Bornhoeft
Decision Date | 29 July 2008 |
Docket Number | No. 2006-08480,2006-08480 |
Parties | THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. MICHAEL BORNHOEFT, Appellant. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
In fulfilling our responsibility to conduct an independent review of the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342 [2007]; CPL 470.15 [5]), we nevertheless accord great deference to the jury's opportunity to view the witnesses, hear the testimony, and observe demeanor (see People v Mateo, 2 NY3d 383, 410 [2004], cert denied 542 US 946 [2004]; People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495 [1987]). Upon reviewing the record here, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633 [2006]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).
