People v Chambers

People v Chambers 2007 NY Slip Op 02772 [38 AD3d 913] March 27, 2007 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, May 9, 2007

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Jennie Chambers, Appellant.

—[*1] Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Barbara Lerner and Denise A. Corsi of counsel), for appellant.

Daniel M. Donovan, Jr., District Attorney, Staten Island, N.Y. (Karen F. McGee and Anne Crick of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Giacobbe, J.), rendered August 20, 2004, convicting her of assault in the third degree, tampering with a witness in the second degree, and intimidating a witness in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that her convictions of assault in the third degree, tampering with a witness in the second degree, and intimidating a witness in the second degree were not supported by legally sufficient evidence is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v Gray, 86 NY2d 10, 19-21 [1995]). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620 [1983]), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt the defendant's guilt of these crimes (see People v Calabria, 3 NY3d 80, 81-82 [2004]). Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power (see CPL 470.15 [5]), 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 defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Rivera, J.P., Ritter, Goldstein and Angiolillo, JJ., concur.
