PEOPLE v. WHITE (2025)

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Althea Drysdale, J.), rendered February 25, 2022, as amended March 2, 2022, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of seven counts of burglary in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 21/212 years to 5 years, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v. Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348–349 [2007];  see also People v. Baque, 43 NY3d 26 [2024]).  There is no basis for disturbing the jury's credibility determinations.  The record supports the conclusion that defendant knew that he was prohibited from entering any Walgreens or Duane Reade store as the result of a trespass notice that was communicated to him after a previous shoplifting incident.  Although defendant did not sign the trespass notice, a store manager and the arresting officer testified that they each explained the trespass notice to defendant, and the latter read it to him (see e.g. People v. Goodson, 202 AD3d 487, 487 [1st Dept 2022], lv denied 38 NY3d 1008 [2022]).
