Decision Date | 24 January 2005 |
Docket Number | 2003-01942. |
Citation | 787 N.Y.S.2d 901,2005 NY Slip Op 00413,14 A.D.3d 626 |
Parties | THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JOSE SOTO, Appellant. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish his guilt of murder in the second degree (see Penal Law § 125.25 [2]) is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Gray, 86 NY2d 10 [1995]), and we decline to reach the issue in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction. 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 (see CPL 470.15 [5]; People v Smith, 295 AD2d 629 [2002]).
The defendant's remaining contentions either are without merit or do not require reversal.
