People v. Drysdale

Decision Date17 June 2002
Citation744 N.Y.S.2d 855,295 A.D.2d 533
PartiesTHE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent,<BR>v.<BR>PATRICK DRYSDALE, Appellant.
CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division

Florio, J.P., Smith, Friedmann and H. Miller, JJ., concur.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the indictment charging him with sodomy in the first degree was rendered duplicitous by the trial testimony was not preserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Bumbury, 263 AD2d 512; People v Cosby, 222 AD2d 690), and we decline to reach this issue in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction.

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.

The defendant's sentence was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
