p. 593The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Chaymarl Cormier, Appellant. [742 NYS2d 883]
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Feldman, J.), rendered December 13, 1999, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
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 of depraved indifference murder beyond a reasonable doubt. 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]). Prudenti, P.J., Smith, Friedmann and Adams, JJ., concur.
