PEOPLE v. SANCHEZ (1999)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York.

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Bernardo SANCHEZ, etc., Defendant-Appellant.

Decided: September 23, 1999

ELLERIN, P.J., TOM, MAZZARELLI, WALLACH and LERNER, JJ.

Gregory H. Mansfield, for Respondent. Cynthia Feathers, for Defendant-Appellant.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Arlene Silverman, J.), rendered February 10, 1998, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of two counts of burglary in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 31/212 to 7 years, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. Defendant's intent to commit a crime within the two vehicles he entered was amply established, and the evidence provided no innocent explanation for his entry.
